biological son. He’s my husband’s son, but I adore him like my own.”Margaret was taken aback. “That is incredibly kind of you. “It must be hard.” The woman nodded. “It was difficult at first, but love makes it easier. Family is more than simply blood, after all. Margaret left the hospital with those words resonating through her thoughts. She realized she needed to speak with Andrew and learn more about him and his background.Later
that day, she came at his house and hesitantly knocked on the door. After a few moments, Andrew opened the door.”Andrew, can we talk?” Margaret inquired, her voice quiet yet firm. Andrew looked up in amazement. “Of course, Margaret.” “What is it?” “I’d like to get to know your mother. “I need to learn more about my husband’s past,” Margaret stated.
Andrew’s expression became serious. “Okay. Get inside the automobile. “I have something I need to show you.” Margaret hesitated but followed him out. They drove silently to a small graveyard. Andrew parked his car and brought Margaret to a cemetery.”This is my mom,” Andrew remarked, pointing at the headstone. “She died
when I was fifteen. My father raised me after that, but he disappeared one day. I sought for him but never learned what happened to him. I only found out about his death after you told me a few days ago.” Margaret felt a lump on her throat. “I am sorry, Andrew. “I had no idea.” Andrew shakes his head. “That’s okay. I didn’t realize my father had another family. I never realized he was with you. I apologize if you feel tricked. I honestly didn’t
know. Margaret sighed, her heart full of grief. “I am sorry, too, Andrew. I should not have assumed the worse. I felt really wounded and confused.I couldn’t get pregnant, so perhaps my husband looked elsewhere. But it’s not your fault.Andrew gazed at her, his eyes filled with empathy. “It is not your fault either, Margaret. “You did nothing wrong.” They stood silently for a minute, the weight of their common history falling between them. Finally, Margaret spoke. “You know, Andrew, I’ve always wanted a son.” They felt a sense of tranquility as they stood there. They had found something important in each other: family.
