My Daughter Dropped Off My Grandson and Disappeared — Three Weeks Later, I Got a Call That Broke My Heart
When my daughter, Lisa, showed up at my doorstep with my three-year-old grandson, Tommy, she looked exhausted. “Mom, I just need a little time to figure things out,” she said, kissing Tommy’s forehead before hurrying away.
Days turned into weeks, and Lisa was nowhere to be found. I left messages, called her friends—nothing. Tommy kept asking, “When is Mommy coming back?” I held back my tears, promising, “Soon, sweetheart.”
Then, three weeks later, my phone rang. A trembling voice on the other end made my heart stop. “Mrs. Carter? This is St. Luke’s Hospital. Your daughter… she’s here.”
I rushed over, finding Lisa pale and weak in a hospital bed. She had been battling severe depression, feeling unworthy as a mother. Tears streamed down her face as she whispered, “I didn’t want Tommy to see me like this.”
Holding her hand, I promised, “We’ll get through this together.” Because family never gives up—especially on the ones who need us most.
Lisa’s frail fingers tightened around mine, her eyes filled with pain and regret. “I never meant to leave him, Mom,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I just… I thought he’d be better off without me.”
Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. “Lisa, you are his mother. He needs you. We need you,” I said, brushing a strand of damp hair from her face.
Then, the door creaked open. A doctor entered, his expression grave. “Mrs. Carter, we need to talk about Lisa’s condition.”
My heart pounded. “What is it?”
He sighed. “She was found unconscious in a motel room. The stress, lack of sleep, and—” he hesitated, glancing at Lisa. “There were pills in her system.”
A chill ran down my spine. “You tried to—” My voice cracked before I could say it.
Lisa looked away, guilt consuming her. “I was so tired, Mom. Tired of fighting, of failing…”
At that moment, Tommy’s laughter echoed in my mind. His innocent little voice, still waiting for his mother to come home.
I gripped Lisa’s hand tighter. “We’re getting you help. No more running, no more suffering alone. You hear me?”
She nodded slowly, but before she could speak, a sharp knock startled us. A nurse peeked inside. “Mrs. Carter, there’s someone here to see Lisa.”
My stomach clenched as I stepped out to find a man I never expected to see again—Lisa’s ex, Daniel.
His face was unreadable. “Where is she?” he asked, his voice rough with emotion.
A storm was about to hit, and I wasn’t sure if Lisa was strong enough to survive it.
