I got pregnant when I was in Grade 10. My parents looked at me coldly and said, “You brought shame to this family. From now on, we are no longer our children.”

This child needed a family.
And I needed to let the past go.

I wiped my tears and said,
“I didn’t come back for revenge. I came back to reclaim what’s mine.”

I took the girl’s hand and smiled.
“From now on, you’re my sister.”

Behind us, my parents cried like children.
