A family faced a big change when the mother disappeared without a trace, leaving her husband, Henry, to raise their five children alone. For 23 years, they wondered what happened to her.
Recently, Henry, now 59, decided to take a vacation to Lake Como in Italy. Walking through the streets, memories of his wife, Lucy, flooded back.
Suddenly, he smelled Lucy’s apple pie, a recipe only she knew. Following the scent, he found a young woman baking the same pie. She learned it from a woman by the lake.
The young woman took Henry to a cabin by the lake, where he found Lucy after 23 years. She explained she met someone during their vacation and made a tough choice. Henry felt a mix of emotions but chose forgiveness.
Henry and Lucy worked to rebuild their lives together. It was hard for the children who barely remembered their mother. But slowly, they started healing and rediscovered their love.
