After My Husband Broke the Promise, My Son Died

Before my son passed away, his final wish was simple: to go to the zoo with both his parents and see the pandas. It was something I had been pleading for, but Gilbert, always too busy or too distracted, kept postponing. After my repeated requests, he finally agreed.

But on the day of the trip, everything shattered. Just when I thought we would leave together as a family, Gilbert disappeared without a word. He left us—left our son—when we needed him most. That night, my son slipped away from me forever, carrying the weight of that unfulfilled wish.
