Our Adopted Daughter Passed Away – A Week Later, My 5-Year-Old Son Said, ‘My Sister Waves Goodnight from That House’
When Ally learns her daughter Emily died, grief consumes her. But when her son Ben claims to see Emily waving from across the street, Ally wonders if something supernatural is at play.
Five years ago, Ally and her husband, Matt, struggled with infertility. After years of heartbreak, they adopted Emily, a 7-year-old girl, and their family finally felt complete. Then, Ally miraculously became pregnant, and their son Ben was born. Emily adored her little brother, and life was joyful.
But tragedy struck when Emily was hit by a car while walking home from school. Ally was devastated and fell into a deep depression, unable to even mourn her daughter properly. Two weeks later, Ben quietly told her that Emily waved goodnight from the house next door. Ally was skeptical but followed his gaze one night and saw Emily’s familiar figure across the street.
In a panic, Ally ran to the house, where a woman named Robin greeted her. Robin revealed she was Emily’s biological mother, who had recently gained the means to care for her. Matt had agreed to give Emily back, staged her “death,” and accepted money to avoid a custody battle.
Ally was horrified to learn that Emily had been told she was unwanted. Robin’s lies and Matt’s betrayal broke Ally’s heart, but she took her children and fought for custody. In the end, Ally won, and Matt and Robin left. While the trauma lingers, Ally is healing with her children, promising them her love is unbreakable.
