Amber had experienced several failed relationships and had nearly given up on finding love—until she met Steve, one of her dad’s friends, at a family BBQ. Steve was ten years older, but she felt an immediate warmth and connection. They soon started dating, and her dad was thrilled, as Steve was a caring and compassionate man. After six months, Steve proposed.

Their wedding was like a fairytale, and Amber felt truly happy to be marrying the man of her dreams. But on their wedding night, she found Steve quietly talking to himself in their bedroom, mentioning the name “Stacey.” When Amber asked, Steve revealed with tearful eyes that he was speaking to his late daughter, Stacey, who had died in a car accident years ago. He explained he still felt her presence at important moments like this.

Touched, Amber suggested they go to therapy together to help him process his grief. In that moment, she realized her love for him had deepened, as she understood that true love meant embracing someone fully, with both their joys and sorrows.
