Sara trembled with anger. “She made our daughter afraid to be loved,” she said.Together, Edward and Sara sat down with Lily. Gently, they told her that families are built on love — on bedtime stories, pancakes, and hugs — not on rumors. “Sweetheart,” Edward said, “I am your daddy, and I always will be.”
The next day, Sara confronted her mother. Carol brushed it off as a “story,” claiming she just wanted Lily to keep her beautiful hair. But when she refused to apologize, Sara made a painful choice: “You’re not welcome here until you can respect our family.”
In the weeks that followed, Lily slowly healed. One afternoon, she smiled at Edward and said, “Daddy, I think I want a haircut — maybe pink tips!”As scissors snipped and laughter filled the air, Edward realized the truth: family isn’t proven by blood, but by love that stays and protects — always.
