A grieving mother, Estella, lost the will to live after her son’s death. Ten years later, she discovers a reason to keep going through an unexpected encounter.
Estella often traced the inscription inside a ring given by her late son, Neil, a talented young scientist.
One day, she received a devastating call informing her that Neil had died in a car accident.
Overwhelmed with grief, she struggled to find meaning in her life. Years later, while at the market, Estella encountered two young boys, Jordan and Tim, who bore a striking resemblance to Neil, even sharing his unique birthmark.
Curiosity led her to offer them food and learn about their mother, Emily. To Estella’s surprise, Emily revealed that she had dated Neil and was pregnant with his twins when he suddenly stopped communicating.
After Neil’s death, Emily, unsupported by her family, struggled to raise her children alone. Moved by Emily’s story, Estella welcomed her and the twins into her home, realizing that they were her purpose.
She gave Emily Neil’s ring, symbolizing their connection. Estella found solace in caring for her newfound family, understanding that this was why God had kept her alive.
For Years My Neighbor Comes Home for 15 Minutes in the Middle of the Day — I Finally Dared to Take a Peek
As I hurried to my front door, I realized that I only had fifteen minutes left. I quickly headed toward the open window as soon as I thought no one was watching. I was happy that no neighbors were observing when I peered over the windowsill.
Their living area was same to all others. Mike faced away from me while holding a high-end camera. With a subtle smile, Jill turned to face him. My attention was drawn to a brief glimpse of motion near the room’s edge. Mike had my whole attention. His wife yelled, “Someone’s there!,” as our eyes locked, and I lost my breath. There’s someone looking inside!
No, no, no! I pondered. This is not possible!
With my heart racing, I hurried back to my house and secured the door. What was going through my mind? I peeked inside their house, but why? Had I caused them any offense? I thought they were going to call the cops.
The quiet was broken the following day by a knock on my door. Taking a glance through the peephole made my stomach turn. It was Mike. He pulled out a picture from an envelope he was holding. My picture. “Want to elaborate?” he inquired, seeming amused.
I admitted, embarrassed. To my astonishment, Mike grinned and extended an invitation to visit, stating that he loves Jill by taking her picture every day. I treasured their endearing custom and never looked out the window again after that day.
