After moving to a new city for my husband\u2019s job, I was struggling to adjust \u2014 until I met our neighbor, Everly. She was warm, fun, and easy to talk to. Our kids were close in age, and they quickly became playmates. Everly and I spent a lot of time together, and before long, I truly felt like I\u2019d made a friend I could trust. One afternoon, she asked me to babysit while she ran to a dentist appointment. I agreed without a second thought. As the kids played, I wandered into her kitchen looking for coffee \u2014 and that\u2019s when I saw the photo. It was hanging near the doorway:<\/p>\n
a woman smiling down at a little girl. I froze. The woman in the picture was my mother. At first, I thought I had to be mistaken. But the closer I looked, the more certain I became. That was my mom \u2014 standing with a young Everly. I waited anxiously for Everly to return. When she did, I asked, \u201cWho\u2019s in that photo?\u201d She smiled. \u201cOh, that\u2019s me and my mom.\u201d I could barely get the words out. \u201cThat\u2019s\u2026 that\u2019s my mom too.\u201d We both stared at each other in shock. It didn\u2019t make sense. Could it be a coincidence?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
