David’s mind was spinning with questions. What had made Emily so sick, so suddenly? Could the doctors save her with this urgent operation? And would Emily be able to fully recover, to be there for their new triplets? The idea of her not making it was too painful to consider.
It felt like only yesterday when they were filled with joy and relief. Just two weeks ago, Emily had given birth to their beautiful triplets. The delivery was tough and exhausting, but as soon as Emily held Eva, Leo and Sara their lovely babies, she told David it was all worth it.
As David paced the hospital corridor, waiting anxiously for news from the operating room, he replayed that precious memory in his mind. They couldn’t possibly convince him that those precious moments of bliss as a united family were destined to be so fleeting. His fists clenched in frustration and despair. This wasn’t fair! Life owed them more than this mere glimpse of happiness!
