On Valentine’s Day, Cora Morales poured her heart into a quiet celebration for her husband Eric—wearing the red dress he gave her years ago, baking his favorite red velvet cheesecake, and placing a mysterious gift beside his plate. But when Eric arrived, he dismissed her efforts with cruel words, mocking the candlelit dinner and berating her for the dirty dishes. The gift was tossed aside unopened.
Frustrated and hurt, Cora left to buy diapers for their triplets. She never returned. Hours later, a police officer arrived with devastating news: Cora had died in a car accident. Eric was shattered. At home, he found the unopened gift—inside were plane tickets to Hawaii and a heartfelt letter revealing Cora had secretly gotten a job to help ease his burden. She had planned a surprise getaway, hoping to rekindle their love.
Overcome with guilt and grief, Eric realized too late the depth of her love and sacrifice. From that day forward, he devoted himself to raising their children and honoring Cora’s memory. Every Valentine’s Day, he visits her grave, whispering the words he never said: “I’m sorry. I love you.”
This story is a haunting reminder that love isn’t measured by grand gestures, but by quiet devotion—and that sometimes, the greatest regrets come from words left unsaid.
