Parents work hard and sacrifice so much to raise us well. They may not have superpowers, but their love, support, and care make them real-life heroes. These stories show the touching moments when parents went above and beyond for their children’s happiness.

The Story:

My mom begged me not to marry Liv. She said, “This woman will hurt you!” I told her, “She’s a good person, and one day she’ll prove it to you!” I married Liv, and we had kids. Eight years later, when my mom passed away, I found dozens of old photos of Liv under her bed, taken before we got married, back when Liv was in university.

I found out that my mom had hired a private investigator to follow Liv because she never trusted her. Even though my mom had doubts, my wife has turned out to be a wonderful person.

I understand why my mom was so protective. She had a tough past and lost trust in people after my dad left her for someone else. Even though it was extreme, I appreciate how far my mom went to try and keep me safe.
