Brandon and Mary were happily married until Mary became pregnant. At first, Brandon was thrilled, but after hearing negative comments from his coworkers about fatherhood, he began to panic. Convinced a child would ruin his life, Brandon asked Mary to terminate the pregnancy. When she refused, he lashed out and left her.
Devastated but strong, Mary chose to raise their child on her own. Years passed, and while Mary and her son Aaron built a joyful life together, Brandon’s world crumbled. Alone and regretful, he tried to reconnect, but Mary ignored his attempts.
One day in the park, Brandon helped a young boy retrieve a paper plane—only to discover the child was his son. He watched as Mary and Aaron walked away, happy without him. Tears welled in his eyes as he realized what he had lost.
Lesson: Fear-driven decisions can have lifelong consequences. A mother’s love is unwavering.
