The room froze when my mother-in-law yanked off my wig at the wedding. Heart pounding and tears streaming, I felt exposed and shocked.
Then my friend Lucy spoke up: “This is a wedding, a celebration of love. And here stands a woman braver than most of us could ever be.”
The groom added, “This is the woman I love—her courage, her strength, her fight against cancer inspires me.”
Guests rallied around us, even my mother-in-law’s husband told her to apologize. She whispered, “I… I’m sorry.” I replied, “I forgive you.”
The day went on, not as planned, but more meaningful—celebrating love, resilience, and the support of those who truly cared.
