I Went to Pick Up My Wife and..
I arrived at the hospital excited to bring home my wife, Suzie, and our newborn twins. But when I entered the room, I found only the babies sleeping and a note from Suzie: “Goodbye. Take care of them. Ask your mother WHY she did this to me.” My heart sank as I read and reread the words, trying to understand what had happened.
Confused and desperate, I asked a nurse about Suzie. She revealed that Suzie had left earlier that morning, saying I knew. The nurse said Suzie seemed “fine, just… quiet.” But I had no idea she was leaving.
Leaving the hospital with only the babies and the note, I drove home in shock. At the driveway, my mother greeted me with a casserole, oblivious to the turmoil inside. I held the car seat protectively, unsure how to face the life I thought I knew.
