In the months since, my health has declined, but I find peace in knowing I kept my promise to Samuel and gave these boys a chance at a life they deserved. Caroline and Ralph visit occasionally, and while our family is not perfect, it is real. When Caroline asked if I regretted my decision, I said no—the only regret I have is not doing it sooner. I learned that true legacy is not measured by money left behind but by the lives we touch, the love we give, and the promises we keep. Kyran, Kevin, and Kyle are my sons now in every meaningful way, and I will face whatever time I have left knowing I did what was right.
