My daughter WALKED OUT right after the triplets were born p3

At the time, I was sixty-one years old, a widower surviving on a modest pension that barely covered my expenses.

But I never hesitated.

Those little girls were my family.

And if no one else was willing to raise them, I would.

Years later, one of them—May—looked up at me and asked,

"Grandpa, are we poor?"

I smiled, though the question stung.

Life wasn't easy. Money was always tight, and there were plenty of struggles along the way.

But through it all, we had each other.

And that made all the difference.

Then, after nearly two decades had passed, something strange began happening.

Unexpected gifts started arriving.

A beautiful pearl necklace for Rose.

An expensive designer coat for May.

A monthly car payment mysteriously covered for June.

No sender's name.

No explanation.

One afternoon, trying to make light of it, I laughed and said,

"Don't tell me all three of you secretly found wealthy fiancés."

The room grew quiet.

Then one of the girls looked at me and said,

"Actually, Grandpa... they're from Mom. We've been talking to her for some time. You just didn't know about it."

The words hit me like a punch.
