My Ex-husband Sent Me a Flash Drive Before He Died – Now I Can’t Forgive Myself for Divorcing Him
Katherine, 43, lived a quiet life until an unexpected envelope arrived. Inside was a flash drive labeled “Tom”—her high school sweetheart and ex-husband, whom she hadn’t heard from in over 15 years.
Katherine watched the video with a heavy heart. Tom, looking pale and tired, said, “Katherine, if you’re watching this, I’m probably gone. I got sick. I wanted you to remember me as I was.” He expressed his enduring love and regret over their separation.
Desperate for answers, she contacted John, Tom’s friend, and learned Tom had passed away the previous week. John told her Tom had left a box for her. Inside, she found mementos from their past: a movie ticket stub, a seashell, and a photo from their last encounter.
Determined to honor Tom’s memory, Katherine visited his grave with daisies and a heartfelt letter. “Dear Tom,” she wrote, “I’m sorry for everything. Thank you for your love, the memories, and this last gift. I forgive you, and I hope you can forgive me too.”
A gentle breeze surrounded her, and she felt a sense of peace, ready to move forward with Tom’s memory.
