We Moved In with My Husband’s Grandmother to Care for Her – Before She Died, She Told Me About a Buried Chest That Would Reveal the Truth About Him

Eleanor’s letter sat at the bottom.

I held it for a second, then put it back.

“You didn’t bury this to hurt him,” I whispered. “You buried it because you were scared. But fear isn’t the same as love.”

I closed the lid, pressed the dirt down with my palms, and stood.

And I went home knowing I would never lie to protect someone else’s silence again.
