Five years ago, when I finally got pregnant with my first child, we decided to name her Daisy. I spent months knitting a pink blanket adorned with white daisies. The day Daisy was born, I held her in my arms, wrapped her in the blanket, and we took our first and LAST photo together because hours later, the doctor told me she died. I screamed, cried, and begged to see her, but my husband, Aaron, and my MIL, Margaret, insisted it was best to remember her as she was. They told me they arranged the funeral, but I was too weak to attend. I spiraled into a deep depression in the following years. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, Margaret held a garage sale. While browsing, I froze. There it was: Daisy\u2019s blanket. Every stitch, every detail was the same. Shaking, I confronted Margaret. \u201cWhy is this here? This was buried with Daisy!\u201d She looked ghost-pale, but before she could respond, Aaron walked in. I held up the blanket. \u201cYou told me she was buried in this! What\u2019s going on?\u201d Aaron\u2019s face crumbled. Through tears, he finally confessed, \u201cEverything you know about Daisy is a lie. She NEVER DIED. I can\u2019t keep this secret anymore.
