Derek Sargent left Anne Sargent and their three kids while they were expecting a fourth. This ruined her whole life. The wife and mother, who used to be happy, was left in shock and trying to make ends meet.
Derek’s leaving was very hard. “You were happy, not me!” he yelled, making their marriage nothing more than a job. Anne was very sad.
Anne was determined to support her family, so she got a part-time job at a nearby food store and sold things she loved. But there was a real fight.
One painful thing she had to do was sell her old pram, which had been in her family for generations, at a sale market for $50.
Anne had no idea that fate had other ideas. There was a strange note on the stroller that said, “Please call me.” It went back to her door.
Grace Robbs, the caller, said she was Derek’s ex-girlfriend who was also pregnant and dumped. Anne’s story was like Grace’s: love, betrayal, and heartbreak.
When Anne and Grace met, they became close through tears and pain they both felt. Grace had nowhere else to go, so she went to Anne for safety.
There was a realistic solution: Grace could work from home and watch Anne’s kids after school, so Anne could get a full-time job.
The women helped each other through pregnancy, childbirth, and raising five kids together. Their lives were linked.
When Derek came back to try to make peace, Anne’s answer was firm: “Sorry, so not interested!” The door shut on his sadness.
Anne and Grace’s story showed how strong women can be, how they can forgive, and how friendship can change lives.
When things went wrong, they learnt that family isn’t just blood, but also love, compassion, and memories you share.
