The cold wind cut through the trees like invisible blades, swirling dead leaves in its wake and tugging at the hem of Anna’s coat. She quickened her pace, her heels tapping a hurried rhythm along the paved path of the city park.

Anna clutched her briefcase tightly, eyes scanning…

It was a bitter February morning, the kind where the wind slices through your coat no matter how tightly you pull it around you. I was on my way to the train station in the small village of Willowbrook when I heard something strange. A cry—soft, distant, and desperate—cut through the wind like a whisper.

I still remember that evening as if it were painted in warm light across my memory—a moment so simple yet powerful that it changed the way I looked at love, dignity, and growing old. It was a chilly Saturday evening in early autumn. I had been planning for weeks to take my father out for dinner. He hadn’t been out much since Mom passed away the year before.
