A Voice From Beyond: The Moment That Changed Everything
Grief can blur the lines between memory and reality, but what Kelly experienced was something else entirely.
She knew her husband’s voice—the warmth, the tenderness, every whispered “I love you.” But Jeremy had been gone for two years. So when she suddenly heard him speaking from inside her daughter’s room, a chill raced down her spine.
Heart pounding, she forced herself to step inside. Sophia lay peacefully in her crib, curled up with her teddy bear. But then—
“I love you forever.”
The voice rang out again. Clear. Unmistakable. Jeremy.
A Chilling Discovery
Kelly’s breath hitched. No open windows. No hidden speakers. Was she losing her mind?
With trembling fingers, she picked up the teddy bear and pressed its paw.
“I love you forever.”
A recording.
Then, the memory hit her—a birthday gift from Gloria, Jeremy’s mother, given to Sophia just days ago. Kelly had barely noticed it, too lost in the weight of another birthday without him.
Now, she needed answers.
The Truth Behind the Voice
When she confronted Gloria, the older woman’s eyes filled with emotion.
“I took his voice from your wedding video,” she admitted softly. “His vows. I wanted Sophia to know her daddy’s voice—to have a piece of him.”
Tears blurred Kelly’s vision. The shock. The sorrow. The love.
She wasn’t sure whether to feel angry or grateful, but as she sat that night, watching her daughter sleep, she knew one thing for certain—Jeremy wasn’t gone.
He lived on. In Sophia’s eyes. In her laughter. And now, in the soft voice of a teddy bear.
Love That Never Fades
Kelly gently pressed the bear once more.
“I love you forever.”
Tears slipped down her face, but for the first time in a long time, she didn’t feel alone.
