My life fell apart at 53 when my daughter Anna died in a tragic plane crash.
Her husband, Mark, didn't grieve for long—just a few weeks later, he ran off with another woman, leaving me with their 3-year-old son, Ethan.
That's how I became a mother again—but this time to my grandson.
I raised Ethan in Anna's small house. At my age, it wasn't easy to raise a child on a pension, so I cleaned offices in the evenings and baked on weekends—doing everything I could to keep us afloat.
Years passed, and when Ethan grew older, we finally moved to another house. The old one had stood empty, since we hadn't managed to sell it yet.
Not long after we moved, my neighbor called me, her voice trembling:
"Margaret, you won't believe this… Mark just showed up near your old house! He looked shocked that it was empty and kept asking where you and Ethan were. He said he NEEDED to see his son IMMEDIATELY!"
Soon after, Mark drove up to our new house—the neighbor had given him our new address.
He got out of the car and ran toward Ethan with open arms.
"Oh, son, I've missed you," he said softly, though his eyes were cold.
Ethan froze, seeing his father for the first time.
I felt something wasn't right, but I wanted to believe he truly wanted to reconnect with his son.
Then an ENVELOPE slipped out of Mark's jacket.
Ethan picked it up to hand it back but noticed his own name written on it.
He opened it—and froze.
Inside was the truth about Mark's REAL motives. ⬇️
