My Mother-in-Law Gave Away My Dead Daughter’s Room...

My Mother-in-Law Gave Away My Dead Daughter’s Room... The movers were carrying Lily’s bed out of the house when I pulled into the driveway.Her purple butterfly sheets still clung to the mattress like fragile wings.My mother-in-law stood on the porch, directing the men with sharp, confident gestures. Sunlight flashed against her pearl necklace as she pointed toward the truck.I stayed in my car for three silent heartbeats. Then I understood.She had planned this for today.The one afternoon every week I spent at the cemetery.“Oh, good. You’re home,” Margaret said when I reached the steps, not bothering to hide her satisfaction. “We’ve made excellent progress. Jason’s baby will need this room by Christmas. I thought it was best to start fresh.”I stopped, still holding the small bouquet of daisies I had forgotten to place on Lily’s grave.“Jason’s baby is due December fifteenth,” she announced, watching the movers struggle with Lily’s bookshelf. “Finally, a grandchild to carry on the family name. We’re turning this into a proper nursery. None of that purple princess nonsense.” The words landed like blows.Lily had chosen every detail of that room during her last good month—when the treatments eased just enough for her to imagine a future she would never have.“Where’s my husband?” I asked.“Thomas is at work. Someone has to pay for all this.” She waved toward the chaos. “I told him I’d handle everything. No need to bother you during your grief.”
