There are moments in life when joy seems to shine so brightly that you believe nothing could ever dim it. I had just experienced one such moment: my wife and I had left the doctor’s office, elated after hearing our baby’s heartbeat for the very first time.
In that instant, our hearts were full of hope, and our future seemed limitless. We were riding high on the wave of new life and endless possibility.
That joy, however, was about to be shattered by a single, cruel act—a moment that would alter my world forever. As we reached my car after our visit, I was confronted with a sight that left me utterly numb.
Scrawled across the drivers side door in bold, unapologetic letters were the words: “Hope She Was Worth It.”
