While cleaning the house, Crystal found wads of money under her daughter Daisy’s bed. Curious, she confronted Daisy and uncovered a heartbreaking truth.
Daisy, just turned eight, is Crystal’s world. One cleaning day, Crystal discovered boxes under Daisy’s bed filled with hundreds of dollars in five and twenty-dollar bills. Shocked and worried, she confronted Daisy, who tearfully admitted, “It’s for Daddy.”
Crystal was stunned. Her ex-husband William, a successful businessman abroad, supposedly needed money from Daisy? Daisy explained, “Daddy said I need to pay him if I want to see him.” Crystal’s heart sank.
When Crystal called William, he was confused. “I don’t understand,” he said. William explained Daisy had asked why he never visits, and he joked, “Sure, sweetie, you need to pay Daddy for his time.” He had no idea she took it seriously.
“She’s been saving every penny, selling her toys, just to see you,” Crystal cried. Realizing his mistake, William promised to visit and make amends. Daisy was overjoyed, and Crystal felt a surge of relief.
That night, Crystal reassured Daisy, “You can’t buy time with money. We’ll save this for your birthday.” Daisy, now excited to see her father, clutched her piggy bank tightly.
