When my daughter Jane walked down the aisle, nothing was as we had planned. After months of preparation, she surprised everyone by wearing a black gown instead of her dream ivory dress. While the color shocked the guests, the real issue lay in the reason behind it.
I had always believed in Jane’s love for Jack, but as the wedding day approached, I noticed a change in his demeanor. My attempts to reach him on the wedding day went unanswered, and a call to the hospital revealed there was no record of him. Desperate for answers, I drove to the hospital, only to learn that Jack was not a doctor but a patient battling Stage IV cancer.
