something fell out—two crisp $100 bills. Then more. Hidden between the verses were thousands of dollars in cash, enough to pay off his mother’s hospital bills. Grace had planned this all along, knowing he’d need it when he was ready—not just financially, but emotionally. Mike broke down in tears. She hadn’t punished him. She’d never stopped loving him. Her final gift was wrapped in the very faith she’d tried to share with him.
That money saved Kaila’s life. Over the next few months, Mike found new purpose—cutting back on work, enrolling in school, and slowly, starting to believe again. Grace hadn’t just left him money. She left him hope.
