Mila sat on the floor for a long time, unable to move. Her fingers trembled so violently she could barely unwrap the package. The fabric was thick, old, yet unexpectedly clean—not a rag, nor something discarded at random.

I was ten when my father first didn’t call me to breakfast, but silently led me out into the yard. That morning, the frost on the window looked like intricate lace, and the air stung my lungs.

I live just a street away from a local high school, and recently, the noise has returned to our road—boys with large backpacks, untucked shirts, laughter, hurried mums, bicycles dropping students off at the corner. For most people, this is just everyday life. For me, it hits straight in the chest. Three years ago, my son, then in Year 11, passed away, and since then, this season is the hardest for me.

The other day, my mum left the house just like any other morning. She texted me to ask if I’d had breakfast, and I replied, “Yes, we’ll talk later,” then went back to work. She wasn’t ill, she wasn’t in hospital, there was no worry, no goodbye—just an ordinary day. One of those days you never suspect will change everything.

Eight days before my wedding, my father passed away peacefully in his sleep. I was at work when the hospital called to say nothing more could be done. Sitting on the corridor floor, I didn’t even know how to react. My mother had died years ago, and my father was all I had left. The woman who cared for his home found him—she had a key.

There were just eight days left until my wedding when my father passed away. He died peacefully in his sleep. I was at work, merrily typing...
