One evening, while sorting through Grace’s belongings, he found a small notebook tucked inside her handbag. Inside were letters written to their unborn daughter.
On the first page, Grace had written: “My little one, if you’re reading this someday, know that your mommy loves you more than anything. If I can’t be there to hold you, I hope your daddy will tell you how much I believed in you, how much I dreamed of seeing your first smile.”
Ethan sat there, tears streaming down his face. “She’s smiling now, Grace,” he whispered. “You’d be so proud.”
