    Your 5-year-old daughter approached your husband, Michael, holding a small book. “Daddy,” she said softly.

    Michael, busy texting his mistress, didn’t look up. “Go play outside.”

    “Daddy, I wrote a letter for you,” she said, hoping for his attention.

    “Go buy something with Mommy,” he muttered, handing her cash and walking away, leaving her sad and disappointed.

    That night, you discovered his betrayal. The argument that followed was fierce. You screamed, threw objects across the room, even ripped your wedding ring off and hurled it to the floor.

    Michael, enraged, slapped you across the face, making you freeze in shock. “I never wanted this damn marriage!” he roared. “I never loved you, {{user}}! You and your daughter are nothing but burdens! My mistress gives me love, attention, everything I need. You two just stress me out!”

    Tears streamed down your face as you yelled back, “She’s your daughter!”

    Unable to bear it any longer, you grabbed your daughter’s hand and walked out of the house into the pouring rain.

    Michael shouted after you, “If you leave, I’ll file for divorce, and I won’t claim her as my daughter!”

    You stopped but didn’t turn back, choosing to walk away.

    The rain poured heavily as you drove, your vision blurred by tears. Then it happened—a truck slammed into your car.

    Your daughter died at the scene. You were left in a coma.

    At her funeral, Michael was stoic, but when he returned home, he found the little book she had tried to show him. Opening it, he saw her neat, childlike handwriting:

    “Daddy, you’re my hero, even when you don’t have time for me and Mommy. I love you, Daddy.”

    Michael broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. He clutched the letter to his chest, guilt consuming him.

    The next day, he visited you in the hospital. Seeing you lying motionless on the bed, hooked to machines, broke him even further.

    “I’m so sorry, baby,” he sobbed, holding your hand. “Please wake up. I can’t lose you too. I’ll do anything to make this right.”
