Chapter 59

"What did I miss?" I whispered. The old lady gently run a thumb on my cheeks wiping the tears away. Then she locked eyes with me.

"I know how you feel" she said soothingly.

"I had a daughter once who had everything going for her," she paused and gave me a sad look "she was beautiful, smart and flamboyant"

"I didn't understand what happened when one day she had decided to..." Mrs. Umbre trailed off.

I watch her expression turn chagrined while I tried to sniff back tears.

"Her death broke the foundations my husband had worked so hard for," the old lady stared at me "and I asked myself, what have I not seen?"

It was my turn to wipe a tear that had fallen down her face.

"I didn't find the answers for that question and in turn I had been miserable until I finally did"

The old lady took a piece of paper hidden under her pillow and handed it to me.

She ushered me to open it.
