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.

“Yes, and after years of therapy and hard work, not only did I overcome those challenges, but I also built a successful business.”
Karen, now completely deflated, couldn’t meet my gaze. Her date drank his whiskey when it arrived, and she held onto her phone, although she wasn’t using it.

“Can I take your order?” I asked again.
Karen shook her head. And then got up from her chair, ready to escort her own shame out the door.

Later that night, as I sat in my bed, looking through old photos on my phone gallery—I realized that I had finally healed the teenager in me. The teenager who needed to be reminded that she could fight and find success and joy for herself.
It had taken about 20 years, but I finally felt free. I finally felt like I had unleashed all the trauma from high school.
