When I pulled into the driveway after a long day at work, something stopped me cold — a stroller, placed like a gift on the lawn. It wasn’t just any stroller. A satin bow, yellow lilies spilling from the seat — my favorite flower. My chest tightened. Arthur had always said, “I want to travel, Vic. Kids don’t fit in that picture.” So I let the dream go quiet
What Arthur never knew — what no one knew — was that I couldn’t have children. I’d buried the diagnosis years ago, wrapped it in silence, and tucked it behind his disinterest. I told myself it didn’t hurt anymore, that I was at peace. But grief doesn’t fade; it waits in shadows, and the stroller dragged it into the light.
I stepped closer, my hands trembling. Tucked beneath a soft cream blanket was a card, his handwriting instantly familiar. “I’m ready, Vic. Let’s try for a baby. I love you.” My breath caught — it was everything I had once hoped to hear. But instead of joy, I felt the weight of a truth I could no longer hide.
