Now it reminds me of something else.
Sometimes your body understands the truth before your mind is ready to accept it.
Lauren knew something was wrong.
And once the truth finally came out, she did something Mark had been too afraid to do for years.
She faced it.
Whatever came next would be built on that.
No substituted envelopes.
No secret children.
No staged celebrations.
No lies hidden underneath something beautiful.
Just the truth.
However painful.
Because after everything my daughter had survived, she deserved at least that.
