The biggest secret
“Attached to this letter is your birth certificate. Unfortunately your real mother died a few years after giving birth to you, but I decided that I had to stay close. To make sure you were happy and healthy. Your father does not know you exist.” Nancy couldn’t help but cry. This truth was way more than she could handle. How could her grandfather hide all this from her?
“I told Kevin what was going on. He was very young when you came to live with them and he doesn’t remember. The truth was really hard on him but he loves you very much, just like the rest of your family does. Even though they may not be biologically related to you, you are family. Please remember that.” That was it. The end of the letter. Nancy was in shock.
What she had to do next might be the hardest thing she had ever had to do in her life.
