I Married My Husband in the House He Shared with His Late Wife – but on Our Wedding Night, I Found a Letter Taped Inside My Nightstand
“Daddy said not to tell.”
I didn’t really know how to tackle this situation, but I had to do something, so I put my arms around Mia and held her close.
She jumped down from her chair and took my hand. She led me toward the basement stairs. I followed her.
“You can trust me, Mia.”
Mia pointed toward a large, unlabeled plastic storage tub.
“It’s in there. Mommy’s things.”
I lifted the lid. Inside were pieces of plastic tubing, boxes of prescription vials with dates from two years ago, and a portable oxygen concentrator.
Mia’s mother hadn’t died in a car accident. She’d been sick.
But that wasn’t the last of the surprises Mia had in store for me.
