My 13-year-old daughter set up a little table in the yard to sell the toys she had crocheted — and then a man on a motorcycle pulled up and said, "I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOUR MOM FOR 10 YEARS."
My husband died when our daughter Ava was only 2 years old.
Since then, it had been just the two of us.
Eleven years passed, and life seemed to have settled down, but recently I was diagnosed with cancer.
I'm undergoing treatment, and I'm fighting for my life because I dream of seeing my daughter grow up.
Insurance doesn't cover even half the cost of the treatment, but little by little, we are managing.
I started noticing that Ava had taken up crocheting. My mother had taught her a while ago, and Ava seemed to really enjoy it.
Ava said it was her hobby and that she really liked it.
One Saturday, I came home from chemotherapy and saw that my daughter had set up a table in our yard and displayed the toys she had crocheted herself.
I was speechless.
I ran up to Ava and asked,
"Honey, did you make all of this and decide to sell it?"
She smiled and said,
"Yes, Mommy, I want to help you get better sooner, so I'm selling toys."
My chest tightened so much that I could barely breathe.
I saw the neighbors gathering to buy Ava's toys.
I kissed her on the forehead and went into the house to rest. I was exhausted after chemotherapy.
Suddenly, I heard a strange sound.
Through the window, I saw a MAN in a leather jacket on a motorcycle.
He definitely was not a neighbor. I opened the door to go over there when suddenly he walked up to my daughter's table and looked at the toys.
I stood nearby, around the corner, and heard their conversation.
Ava shyly asked,
"Sir, would you like to buy a toy?"
He smiled, looked at her, and said,
"Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry, but I've been looking for your mom for 10 years. Please, if it's not too hard for you, call her."
I started walking toward them, and the man raised his head.
Finally, I could see his face clearly.
My blood ran cold when I recognized WHO it was.
I screamed, "OH MY GOD, THIS CAN'T BE TRUE!" ⬇️
