\u201cI apologize for the delay, sir. Here\u2019s your coffee\u2026\u2026\u201d Kristin had only begun to speak when the cup slid from her grasp and dropped on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the heck is wrong with you? Are you out of your mind? Can\u2019t you see that there\u2019s someone seated here?\u201d yelled a passenger who had been a victim of the coffee spill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But instead of providing the man a tissue to wipe himself, Kristin stood paralyzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis \u2013 This can\u2019t be true, Kristin! You must be dreaming!\u201d she muttered to herself as her fellow attendant Cassandra arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please accept my apologies on behalf of my colle ow seat. \u201cI\u2019ll go grab you some coffee right now. Come with me, Kristin. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience,\u201d she repeated with a smile before departing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cassandra swiftly prepared the coffee and cleaned up the spilled mess. She threw the trash into a plastic bag and glared angrily at Kristin. \u201cSee, this is why I warned you not to return to work so soon! Kris, you need to rest! You are not prepared to work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust tell me one thing, Cassandra,\u201d Kristin muttered, opening her locket to display a photograph within. \u201cYou just called him Mr. Moss, didn\u2019t you? Doesn\u2019t he resemble my late husband?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is quite unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook, Kris, that\u2019s\u2026\u201d Cassandra had only begun to speak when she glanced at the photo. \u201cOh my gosh!\u201d she gasped, covering her mouth in shock. \u201cThat man looks like your husband! But how is that\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know, right? But how is this possible? That\u2019s what I\u2019m thinking,\u201d Kristin replied quietly, wondering who the man who resembled her husband was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost three months ago, she had lost her husband, Bob, to a heart attack. They were happily married for ten years, and it was only a few years ago that Bob requested her to quit her job so that she could spend more time with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBabe,\u201d he\u2019d said. \u201cYou\u2019ve been there for both of us for so long, and that\u2019s enough. I want you to take a break and devote your time to the house and us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristin enjoyed her profession, but she was never really enamored with it. She\u2019d been working only because she was the breadwinner for her family while Bob was attempting to start his business. After 6 years, when Bob\u2019s business had been thriving, she decided to quit her work and spend more time with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything was going swiftly until Bob unexpectedly suffered a heart attack and died. Kristin was plunged into despair after his death because she was alone and childless. She refused to accept her new reality and practically isolated herself from the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as time passed, she realized she couldn\u2019t go on like this. When she looked at herself in the mirror one day, she barely recognized herself. She was reduced from a cheerful young woman to a frail woman who appeared much older for her age and deprived of care and love. At that point, she decided to return to her job and start afresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, she never expected that exactly three months after bidding farewell to her husband, she\u2019d run into a man at work who\u2019d bring back painful memories of losing her beloved better half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKris! Can\u2019t you hear me?\u201d Cassandra shook her, interrupting her thoughts. \u201cHe wants to talk to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUh\u2026.huh\u2026.wants to talk to me? Who?\u201d she asked, bewildered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Moss. His full name is Steven Moss. He just told me he wants to talk to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo me? But\u2026\u201d Kristin didn\u2019t understand what was going on. She took a deep breath and steadied herself before approaching Steven. \u201cYes, sir. How may I assist you?\u201d she asked, forcing a smile on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I sensed you were tense. Is everything all right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you for your concern, sir,\u201d Kristin replied. \u201cI\u2019m all good. Is there anything else I can do for you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh no, that\u2019s all right. By the way,\u201d he added as he rummaged through his wallet. \u201cThis is my business card. I\u2019m afraid I ruined your dress,\u201d he remarked, pointing to her coffee-stained skirt. \u201cMy secretary will reimburse you. I apologize once more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, sir, that\u2019s fine,\u201d Kristin said. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease, I insist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you, sir,\u201d she said as she accepted the business card. \u201cI really appreciate it. Have a nice day,\u201d she added as she walked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that night at home, she couldn\u2019t stop thinking about Steven. Every time she tried to sleep, her mind returned to him. Did Bob have a brother he was unaware of? Is that possible? Perhaps Mrs. Fisher would know! She pondered and decided to speak with her mother-in-law the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she arrived at her mother-in-law\u2019s house, the older woman greeted her at the door. \u201cKristin? Is everything alright?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry for disturbing you so early in the morning, Mrs. Fisher, but I needed to talk about something important.\u201d
\u201cOh, come in. Come in. I was just making breakfast. Anyway, after you two moved out, this place never felt like home anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cActually, Mrs. Fisher, I wanted to speak with you about Bob. I know this may seem unusual to you, but I met this guy on a flight yesterday\u2026.and he\u2026he looked exactly like Bob.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs. Fisher\u2019s eyes almost welled up when Kristin mentioned that, and she noticed weird anxiety in the woman\u2019s eyes at one point. \u201cIs everything okay, Mrs. Fisher\u2019? You look\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have something to tell you, Kristin. Could you please go to my room and get the album from my bedside drawer?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristin had no idea what was going on, but she did what Mrs. Fisher instructed. Then the older woman asked her to take a seat and showed her a photograph of twins. \u201cYou see these babies? It\u2019s Bob and his twin brother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d Kristin couldn\u2019t believe her ears!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know that Bobby didn\u2019t have a father. He left me when I got pregnant. Later I found out that I was having twins. I gave birth to them, but I knew that I couldn\u2019t bring up two sons even then. I was 19 years old, my parents were poor, and I was still a student. So I decided that I would give up one child. I took their picture before leaving one of them at an orphanage. It wasn\u2019t an easy decision, but I didn\u2019t have a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristin couldn\u2019t fight back her tears as Mrs. Fisher began sobbing over the photos. Fortunately, she had Steven\u2019s business card with her, so she decided to prepare a surprise for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She dialed Steven\u2019s receptionist and requested her to connect the call to Steven. When he answered the phone, she explained everything to him and asked if he could visit them if he was free anytime soon. Steven was more than happy to agree with the request because it turns out he, too, was looking for his biological parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His adoptive family had told him he was adopted when he turned 18, and he knew his biological mother\u2019s name. But unfortunately, after getting busy with work, he couldn\u2019t invest much time in tracking her down. When he received the call from Kristin, he was over the moon and flew the next day to see Mrs. Fisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The older woman burst out crying when she answered the door and found him at the doorstep. She hugged him and apologized for abandoning him, and Steven forgave her since he understood she did it out of compulsion. He now pays her visits every year, and Mrs. Fisher no longer feels alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can we learn from this story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to forgive and forget. Steven understood that Mrs. Fisher had abandoned him out of compulsion, and he forgave her for that, moving forward in life.
Some accidents are indeed beautiful. Kristin met Steven accidentally on the flight, and that incident reunited a mother with her long-lost child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
