Only Daughter Takes Care of Disabled Mom for Years, Father Appears When They Become Famous – Story of the Day

A daughter melts hearts with her dedication to her paralyzed mother, whom she has taken care of for years after her father abandoned them. Years later, when she is at the peak of success, he unexpectedly appears and extends an olive branch.

Abbie was a wannabe detective since eight. It was a dream fed by the numerous episodes of crime dramas and book series that intrigued her. As she grew up, she wanted to put a gumshoe on solving mysteries in the graffiti-drenched lanes in the town she lived.

But the biggest mystery Abbie could never solve was — about her estranged father and his whereabouts.

Abbie knew little about him except that his first name was ‘Randy.’ Her mother, Vera, refused to reveal anything else. But Abbie never grew tired of lobbing her with questions.

“How did you meet? Was he like this when you dated? What exactly happened, and why did he leave us?” she often asked. The more Abbie wanted to know about her father, and the more Vera concealed the truth. It still haunted her when she recalled that day when Randy had just disappeared without a trace…

Years ago, Vera and her husband lived the life of their dreams in their little house on the hillside. Randy worked in a shoe factory, while Vera was a wonderful homemaker. They made enough money to make their little dreams come true, and one was to have a baby.

They had been married for five years, and though their little house had an abundance of everything a middle-class couple could ask for, it lacked just one thing — the sharp, shrill cries of a baby.

Like many women, Vera was diagnosed with issues in conceiving. The only sliver of hope she had was when doctors told her she still had a slim chance of getting pregnant. Randy and Vera did not lose heart and kept trying. And one day, their prayers were answered.

“Oh my God!! I cannot believe this!” Randy cried when Vera told him she was pregnant. It was like a dream come true. This was the day they constantly prayed for, and it finally arrived. The ultrasound Vera took a few weeks later revealed a tiny girl baby growing inside her. Randy’s joy shrunk into slight despair, and he was pretty upset.

“I thought we’d have a baby boy. But…” he grinned.

“Darling, whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s our baby. She’s a blessing,” Vera told him.

She loved each day of her pregnancy. Her belly bulged, carrying all the happiness she had dreamed of, and soon, it was time to welcome their child into the world.

After an exhausting labor, the maternity ward echoed with loud cries of Vera’s newborn baby girl. “Abbie is here!!” she sighed. Her joy overshadowed all that pain she had endured. Vera was so happy that day and thought even Randy would feel the same.
