When Nella noticed her husband Eric behaving strangely, she couldn’t ignore it. For ten nights, Eric left home after dinner, returning at sunrise, looking exhausted. When questioned, he claimed he just needed space to think. Unable to bear her mounting suspicion, Nella followed him to a park, where he sat alone in his car each night. Convinced he was hiding something, she confronted him.
Eric revealed the devastating truth—he had terminal cancer and wanted to record bedtime stories for their kids. He hadn’t told her to spare her pain but was preparing something meaningful for their children to remember him by. Nella was heartbroken but vowed they’d face it together.
In the following months, Eric spent as much time as possible with their kids, creating happy memories despite his worsening condition. He passed away peacefully one winter morning, leaving the family heartbroken but grateful for his love and strength.
Days after the funeral, Nella found a recording titled Our Story. In it, Eric recounted their life together as a fairytale, reminding her to continue living with love and courage. Listening to his words brought her comfort and strength, keeping his memory alive as she moved forward with their children.
