My Daughter Passed Away Giving Birth, and I Raised Her Son Alone – 10 Years Later, a Strange Woman at Her Grave Said, ‘I Made Your Daughter a Promise. Now It’s Time You Knew the Truth’
I stopped.
My hands began shaking.
Teagan continued.
He wanted to stay. But wanting something and being ready for it aren’t the same thing.
His family keeps telling him this will ruin everything he planned.
I told him not to come back because he’s afraid of disappointing them.
If he comes back, I need it to be because he chooses us himself.
Then I reached the line that broke something open inside me.
You kept asking who he was, but you never asked why I was scared.
I lowered the letter.
A memory came rushing back.
One night during her pregnancy, Teagan had walked into the kitchen.
“Mom, can I ask you something?”
I had been tired.
I didn’t even look up.
“If this is about avoiding the father question again, I can’t do this tonight, Tee.”
She stood there for several seconds.
Then she quietly said,
“Never mind.”
