Story of the Day: A woman receives a call from the hospital, learning that she lost her beloved sister and has two newborn nephews.

“One day, I hope you will see that you made a mistake by leaving my sister and your boys behind. I only hope you’ll ask for forgiveness before it’s too late,” the text said.
