Dear Lily,

You don’t know it yet, but life is full of complications you could never imagine. The impossible, even the devastatingly so, can throw you off course and batter your heart along the way. I know, that doesn’t sound like the start of the best kind of letter a mother could write to her daughter, but there’s a bright side too.

There are moments, choices, and course-corrections to get you back on track to the life you were meant to have. You are living proof of that. I won’t hold back. Some of what you’ll read might be hard to hear considering it’s about your mom and dad, but it will all be worth it if you learn from our mistakes. I like to think we went wrong so that you won’t have to one day. Besides, as you know, it all worked out in the end.

I knew Kade was my one before he ever even realized I was a girl. He was mine for a moment, and then fate interceded to take him away from me…

Kade

Family drama took me away from her. A lie from a friend kept me away. Seeing her again, months later, with a swollen belly as I had my arms wrapped around another woman, that would stain my heart forever. Second chances don’t come often, but there was no way I couldn’t try, too much was at stake.
