Woman Discovers Letters from Her Missing Sister in Her Newly Purchased Home — Story of the Day

Jessica was different from her sister; she had never defied their parents. But buying this house was her first act of rebellion.

She had refused their money for the purchase, wanting them to know it was hers and hers alone. The house was small, but it was hers.

She opened one of the boxes and pulled out a photograph of herself and Meredith as children. They were smiling, arms wrapped around each other.

Jessica felt a pang of regret. “I barely speak to them now. I regret not having the chance to talk to you all this time.”

Meredith looked up, her eyes softening. “I felt the same way. But they were so against my relationship with Diego. And now we’re married and have this wonderful son. I wouldn’t change a thing, even if I could.”

Jessica’s eyes filled with tears. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t there when you lost your baby. I should have been there for you.”

Meredith’s face softened with a sad smile. “I missed having your support during that time. It was hard, but we got through it.”

They sat in silence for a few moments, the weight of the past settling around them. Then Meredith broke the silence. “But now you have the chance to be a part of your nephew’s life. He could use a cool aunt.”
