A Perfect Farewell in 72 Hours
1k Views · Ongoing · Daisy Swift
My husband deemed me excessively stubborn, my parents claimed I lacked gratitude, and my five-year-old daughter expressed her greater affection for that "Mommy Chloe."
When the doctor informed me that a matching heart had been located, I believed that hope had finally graced me.
Until they unanimously decided to bestow this life-saving heart upon her.
I watched my daughter nestled in her embrace, sweetly calling her "Mommy," a title that had once been exclusively mine.
The experimental device in my chest was counting down—72 hours.
That was sufficient.
I resolved to present them with a flawless Skyler in these final three days: compliant, magnanimous, and understanding. I would relinquish all my possessions, my studio, my very essence to this "ideal woman" in their eyes.
They would have their desires fulfilled.
And I would bear witness as they incurred the consequences.
This was my final gift—yet also my profound curse.
