“Sarah,” he said warmly. “Emma’s doing beautifully. She’s healthy, strong, and she’s smiling all the time.”

“I think about her every day,” I said, smiling into the phone.

“Tell her… she was loved that night,” I said, swallowing the lump in my throat. “Even if she won’t remember it.”

“I will,” he promised. “She’ll grow up knowing exactly who you are. And what you did for her.”

And sometimes, I swear I hear her again, soft, fragile, and alive.

Because sometimes, miracles don’t arrive in sunlight or fanfare. Sometimes, they come wrapped in a thin pink blanket and leave behind a love that never lets go.
