Losing my daughter left me wondering how I’d face another day without her. I never imagined that, even after she was gone, she’d give me something I desperately needed.
My knees nearly gave out when I found a tiny photo hidden inside the paper tie my daughter had made me 26 years earlier!
It showed Ashley sitting beside someone I’d never seen before.
On the back, my daughter had written three words.
“One more promise.”
My knees nearly gave out.
A folded letter was tucked behind the photo.
Across the front, in Ashley’s handwriting, were the words:
“Dad, I hope you’ll be happy when you open this after my wedding.”
But there wasn’t going to be an aisle or a wedding.
My daughter was lying in a coffin three feet away.
And I had no idea who the person in the image was.
A folded letter was tucked behind the photo.
