Before My Son Passed Away, He Donated His Heart to an 18-Year-Old Girl – After the Transplant, Her Mother Handed Me a Letter from My Son

That was the moment gratitude turned into suspicion. And the next sentence turned suspicion into rage.

I couldn’t make myself finish the letter at the cemetery.

I folded it, took it home, and waited until I was alone before opening it again.

‘Her name is Lily. Mom, she is Dad’s biological daughter.’

I read it three times.

Then I kept going.

‘I found out before Dad died. Please don’t blame Lily. She didn’t choose any of this. Dad had been sending money to Rebecca for years. I know what that looks like, but please talk to her before you decide what kind of man he was.’

I dropped the letter. “No, no, no.”

I thought Ethan had just given me the truth.

He’d only given me the first piece of it – and one thing he believed was completely wrong.

There were copies of bank transfers tucked behind Ethan’s pages.

Daniel had sent Rebecca money for years.

Hundreds at first.

Then thousands.

Money I remembered arguing about.
