As snowflakes fell gently, a soft voice caught his attention. “Are you Peter?”
He turned to see a young girl holding a bright yellow umbrella. Her green eyes mirrored Sally’s, and her expression was filled with a quiet determination.
“Yes, I’m Peter,” he said, his voice unsteady.
The girl introduced herself as Betty and shared a message from her mother, Sally. Peter learned that Sally had passed away two years earlier but had never forgotten him or their promise. Through Betty, Sally’s love and hope lived on.
Betty handed Peter a diary filled with memories, dreams, and heartfelt reflections. Among its pages, Peter found a photograph from their prom night, reminding him of the love that had brought him here.
In the days that followed, Peter embraced a new chapter, dedicating himself to raising Betty and honoring Sally’s legacy. Together, they built a home filled with warmth and laughter.
On their first Christmas together, Peter and Betty visited Sally’s resting place, laying a bouquet of yellow roses—a symbol of new beginnings. “Mom said yellow was her favorite color,” Betty whispered.
Peter smiled, his heart full. “It’s the color of hope, just like she always believed.”
As they stood together, Peter realized their story was not one of loss but of enduring love and new beginnings. In Betty’s laughter and courage, Sally’s spirit thrived, proving that love has the power to transcend time and create a legacy of joy and resilience.
