The maternity ward should have been filled with joy. After years of infertility treatments, heartbreak, and unanswered prayers, Emily finally held the life she had fought so hard to create. Three tiny baby girls slept peacefully in matching bassinets beside her hospital bed, their soft breaths rising and falling beneath pastel blankets. Sophie. Lily. Grace….
It started as one of those ordinary parenting moments that seem completely forgettable at the time. Dinner dishes were still drying in the kitchen. The television hummed softly in the background while my husband bounced our baby son on his knee. Our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter sat cross-legged on the living room carpet, carefully arranging blocks into…
