Amber had given up on love until she met Steve, her father’s old friend, at a BBQ. Their whirlwind romance led to marriage, and everything seemed perfect—until their wedding night revealed an unsettling secret that changed everything.
As Amber arrived at her parents’ house, she was greeted by the familiar chaos of a family BBQ. Her father introduced her to Steve, a ruggedly handsome man with warm eyes that sparked an unexpected flutter in her heart. Despite her reluctance to pursue love, the connection was undeniable.
After the BBQ, when her car wouldn’t start, Steve offered to help. With a simple fix, he not only got her car running but also asked her out for dinner. Amber, drawn to him, agreed, marking the start of a relationship that felt right.
Fast forward six months, and Amber stood in front of the mirror in her childhood bedroom, dressed in a wedding gown. At the altar, she felt a calm certainty as she and Steve exchanged vows, finally becoming husband and wife.
But that night, Amber was stunned to find Steve talking to someone who wasn’t there. When she confronted him, he revealed he was speaking to his deceased daughter, Stacy, who had died in a car accident. His grief was palpable, and instead of feeling frightened, Amber felt compassion for him.
Sitting beside him, she offered her understanding. They discussed seeking help together, acknowledging that they could carry their burdens as a team. As they embraced, Amber realized that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about sharing scars and finding solace in each other.
In that moment, she knew their journey together was just beginning.
Mom’s Hilarious Response After Her Daughter Called Her Fat at the Pool Has Everyone Cheering
Calling someone “fat” can be a hurtful insult. But why is that?
This question came up when a mother named Allison shared her story about a recent swimming trip with her children. When her daughter called her fat, 30-year-old Allison had a clever response, and her message is now spreading quickly online.
Allison Kimmey began dieting when she was just 14 years old. She managed to stay at a size two to four through graduate school, but it was tough, and she wasn’t happy. Three years ago, at age 27, Allison reached a size eight and realized she would be much happier if she stopped fighting against her weight gain.
To motivate herself, Allison started an Instagram account, @allisonkimmey, where she shares pictures and inspirational messages. Her body positivity spreads joy and encourages her followers, but her important message doesn’t always reach everyone.
**Me:** “Actually, everyone, every single person in the world has fat. But each of us has different amounts.”
**Her brother:** “Oh right! I have some to protect my big muscles! But you have more than me.”
**Me:** “Yes, that’s true. Some people have a lot, and others don’t have much. But that doesn’t mean one person is better than the other. Do you both understand?”
**Both:** “Yes, mama.”
**Me:** “So can you repeat what I said?”
**Them:** “Yes! I shouldn’t say someone is fat because you can’t just be fat, but everyone HAS fat, and it’s okay to have different fat.”
**Me:** “Exactly right!”
Not only did Allison want to teach her children how to talk to others, but she also felt it was important to spread the message that everyone is equal, no matter their body shape. Now, her post on Instagram has gone viral.
“If I shame my children for saying it, then I’m proving that it’s an insulting word and continuing the stigma that being fat is unworthy, gross, comical, and undesirable,” writes Allison.
