The phone call still echoes in my mind, a chilling whisper telling us that Didi was gone. My husband, Alan, stood beside me, his face etched with a grief that went deeper than blood.

Didi wasn’t Alan’s “blood” relative in the traditional sense; she was his former uncle’s ex-wife, divorced 15 years ago when she was just 35. Yet, our bond with her was stronger than any familial ties.
