Edward thought that after losing one of his arms in the war, he would never experience such intense pain again. Tragically, when he lost his beautiful wife and daughter, he was met with a life that appeared to serve no purpose, as he felt completely loveless and alone.
Oftentimes, Edward would have days when it felt too difficult to even get out of bed. He also routinely found it hard to even look out of his window and see his happy neighbors living their lives with their families.
One day, a woman moved into the empty house next door to Edward and changed everything.
When Edward was outside one day, he couldn’t help but go up to the woman and her adorable baby boy.
Edward soon discovered that his new neighbors were named Natalie and Joe. They exchanged pleasantries, and Edward even invited Natalie to come over and join him for tea anytime. That evening, Edward found himself completely delighted to be hosting Natalie and Joe. It was the first time anyone had been in his home to socialize in years.
Natalie was a single mother raising Joe on her own after her husband’s death. She had moved in next door to Edward as she had recently been let go from her job and needed somewhere more affordable.

She was always looking for job positions where she could work from home but found it difficult to find work in her field that was 100% remote.
Without really thinking, Edward offered himself up to Natalie to be Joe’s caregiver whenever she had to go to work. Natalie was amazed at his kindness, and even though she had a few reservations about leaving her son with a disabled older man, she ended up accepting his offer.
