Kevin’s life took an unexpected turn after being diagnosed with terminal cancer at 34, with just 12 months to live. He grappled with deep regrets over what he hadn’t experienced, despite having achieved his dream of running a bakery and being engaged to the love of his life. His wish to have a child before he passed led to a dramatic breakup with his fiancée, who felt unable to support him through his final days. Alone and heartbroken, Kevin’s outlook changed when he attended a charity event for orphans and noticed Elsie, a sickly little girl who was withdrawn and unresponsive. Moved by her plight, Kevin decided on the spot to adopt her, recognizing an opportunity to give both himself and the child a final chance at joy and connection.
