Her Daughter And Son-In-Law Died But Their Kids Saw Them 2 Years Later

“No, no,” I managed to speak. I didn’t want to cancel the card thinking Monica must’ve activated it when she was alive. “Please leave it active. Could you tell me when the virtual card was created?”

There was a pause as he checked. “It was activated a week before the date you mentioned your daughter passed.”

I felt a chill run down my spine. “Thank you, Billy. That’ll be all for now.”

Then, I called my closest friend Ella. I told her about the strange letter and the transaction on Monica’s card.

“That’s impossible,” Ella gasped. “Could it be a mistake?”

“It’s like someone wants me to believe Monica and Stephan are out there somewhere, just hiding. But why would they… why would anyone do that?”

The charge wasn’t large. It was just $23.50 at a local coffee shop. Part of me wanted to visit the shop and find out more about the transaction, but part of me was afraid I’d find out something I wasn’t supposed to know.

I thought I’d look into this matter on the weekend, but what happened on Saturday turned my world upside down.

Andy and Peter wanted to go to the beach on Saturday, so I took them there. Ella had agreed to meet us there to help me look after the kids.

The ocean breeze carried the salt spray as the children splashed in the shallow waves, their laughter echoing across the sand. It was the first time in ages I’d heard them so carefree.

Ella lounged on her beach towel beside me, both of us watching the kids play.

I was showing her the anonymous letter when I heard Andy shout.

“Grandma, look!” he grabbed Peter’s hand, pointing toward the beachfront café. “That’s our mom and dad!”
