When Nella noticed her husband Eric acting strangely, she grew suspicious. After twelve years of marriage, Eric, normally steady and reliable, suddenly needed “space” and insisted on sleeping in his car. His odd behavior—disheveled and distant—left her fearing the worst: an affair or plans to leave her. But every night, Eric went to the same park, sat in his car, and stared at his phone,

leading Nella to follow him one evening.When she confronted him, Eric revealed the truth: he had been diagnosed with cancer. The tumor was aggressive, and he didn’t know how much time he had left. To protect her and the kids, he’d kept it a secret, using the nights to record bedtime stories for their children, knowing he might not be there to tell them. Devastated, Nella promised to face the future together. Over the following months, they made the most of their time as a family, creating lasting memories despite Eric’s declining health. When Eric passed away, Nella found his recordings—one labeled Our Story. Listening to his voice, she was reminded of their love and the life they had built, a gift she would cherish forever.
