Mom Gives Birth, Husband Gives Her Secret Box From Late Grandma

Boxed Secrets

Sitting in the hospital bed amid the beeping machines, she cradled her newborn baby. Despite her exhaustion from giving birth, she was elated to hold her son finally.

She wasn’t sure what to make of it when her husband approached and handed her a box she had never seen before. It held the secret her mother had kept hidden until her death.

Katrina And Danny

Katrina held the pregnancy test in her shaking hands and unwrapped a second one just to be sure. The second one told her the same thing – she was pregnant.

She couldn’t contain her excitement as she told her husband, Danny. But just when the couple thought things were looking up, the bad news came.

Terminal

Katrina’s mother, Joanne, hadn’t been well lately, so she made an appointment with her doctor.

Unfortunately, when the biopsy came back, it brought the news nobody wanted to hear: she had an aggressive form of lung cancer. It was terminal, and she only had a few months left. Katrina and her sister, Sarah, were devastated.

Heartbreak

Katrina just couldn’t process the news. She couldn’t bear the thought that her beloved mother, who had been there for her entire life, would soon be gone forever.

And, even worse, her mother wouldn’t be there when her baby boy entered the world. She would never get to hold her grandson, and her grandson would never know her. She turned to her sister for support.

A Special Bond

Sarah and Katrina had always had a special sisterly bond, so it was only natural that they turned to each other for comfort when they heard about their mom’s terrible diagnosis.

They resolved to put on brave faces and spend as much time as they possibly could at their mother’s side in those final weeks. Little did Katrina know, their mom was carrying a secret.
