A Lie That Built a Life: My 25-Year Journey of Love and Family

I fell in love with a man who couldn’t decide between me and his ex. In desperation, I lied to him and said I was pregnant. He married me, and I actually did become pregnant shortly afterward—no one ever questioned the timeline.

Now, 25 years later, he tells me how glad he is that everything worked out, and how lucky we are to have such a wonderful daughter. Sometimes, a well-placed lie changes your entire life.
