On Valentine’s Day, Cora, filled with love, prepared a romantic surprise for Eric, including a heart-shaped cheesecake and a gift of plane tickets to Hawaii, symbolizing her new job and their shared dreams. Both orphans, they had built a family with triplets, but Eric, stressed as the sole breadwinner, was overwhelmed. Expecting a quiet evening, he reacted with anger to Cora’s lavish setup, throwing her gift and criticizing her efforts. Hurt, Cora left to buy diapers, slamming
the door. When she didn’t return, Eric grew anxious. A police officer soon delivered devastating news: Cora had died in a car crash. At the mortuary, Eric’s regret deepened as he found her note revealing her job and vacation plans. Haunted by guilt, he dedicated himself to their children, visiting Cora’s grave yearly to seek forgiveness. Eric learned that unchecked anger can destroy love, vowing to honor Cora’s memory with compassion and care for their family.
