Emily has used part of her savings to help with their education, while keeping the rest for her own future.
One evening, I asked my daughter something that had been on my mind for months.
“Emily, why didn’t you tell me for five years?”
She looked at me with tears in her eyes.
“Mom, I wanted to tell you so many times. But I was afraid that if Sarah refused to see you, your heart would break all over again. And Dad kept telling me we should wait a little longer.”
I hugged her tightly.
“Sweetheart, you should never have to carry such a heavy burden just to protect someone else’s feelings.”
She rested her head on my shoulder.
At that moment, Robert walked into the room.
He approached me and gently took my hand.
“Do you think you’ll ever be able to forgive me completely?”
I looked into his eyes.
