Rachel’s life was busy but simple — working at a small shop, raising her daughter Lily, and managing the everyday challenges of single motherhood.

Rachel’s heart ached. She remembered the joy on Lily’s face years ago when she got her first special dress.

I excused myself, claiming fatigue, and retreated to my cabin. There, I wrote a detailed note, explaining everything…
