MY WIFE DIED IN A PLANE CRASH 23 YEARS AGO – IF ONLY I'D KNOWN IT WOULDN'T BE OUR LAST MEETING.
Recently, I met our new employee from Germany, Elsa, and I froze. She looked eerily like my late wife. I shook off the feeling, and we headed to the office. Later, over lunch with the team, her light and funny personality stood out. We hit it off instantly but don't get any ideas — she's 23 years younger, and that's a line I'd never cross.
Over the next few months, Elsa became a trusted colleague and a great friend. One day, she said with a grin, "I showed your picture to my mom, and she immediately booked a ticket here. Maybe it was love at first sight, huh?" I laughed.
So I invited Elsa and her mom, Elke, to dinner. But as the meal began, Elsa excused herself to the bathroom, and her mom leaned in suddenly and grabbed my shoulder.
Her: Don't you dare eye my daughter. You don't recognize me, do you? ⬇️
