But the story doesn’t end there. Three weeks later, Natalie receives an anonymous letter. Written in a shaky hand, it comes from a former nurse at the hospital where her daughters were born. In it, she confesses a terrible mistake : a panicked baby swap, a report ignored, a conscience racked with remorse for six years.
For Natalie, this letter is both a shock and a relief. She presents it to the authorities, and after several steps, her request for permanent custody is accepted .
A home repaired, a family reunited
The day Ava comes home to live, with her little suitcase and her big smile, Natalie knows something has just been restored in their story . She pastes a new photo in the baby book, one of the two sisters together. Underneath, she writes: “Day 2,191: Ava is back home.”
Outside, the girls’ laughter echoes through the garden. Natalie watches them, hand on heart, filled with deep gratitude . Life doesn’t always go according to plan. But sometimes it offers a second chance… and this one can be even more precious than the first.
