After our third son was born, I packed away the tiny pink blanket I’d bought years earlier.
I adored my boys.
But my husband, David, knew I’d always dreamed of having a daughter.
Then, 17 years later, my phone rang at 6:20 a.m.
David was at the hospital.
“Come quickly. And don’t bring the boys.”
When I arrived, he was standing outside the maternity ward.
Holding a newborn girl.
I couldn’t move.
“David… whose baby is that?”
His eyes filled with tears.
“Ours.”
He placed her in my arms.
She had dark hair, tiny fingers, and the most beautiful gray eyes.
I started sobbing.
David kissed my forehead.

“Her name is Grace.”
I didn’t understand anything.
But before I could ask, a doctor approached us.
“Carol? I need to speak with you alone.”
David immediately stiffened.
“There’s no need.”
