When Nella’s husband, Eric, suddenly said he needed space and began sleeping in his car, her mind spiraled. After twelve years of marriage, this behavior felt foreign and alarming. She feared he was having an affair. Night after night, Eric would leave after dinner and return before sunrise, looking exhausted. Desperate for answers, Nella followed him — only to find him parked alone in a quiet park, curled up with a pillow and some books.
On the tenth night, she confronted him. Tearfully, he confessed the truth: he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He wasn’t running away—he was recording bedtime stories in his car, hoping to leave memories for their children after he was gone.
From that moment, Nella stood by him as they navigated the cruel months that followed. Eric passed away quietly one winter morning, leaving behind a legacy of love—and a final recording titled Our Story. In it, he told their fairytale, calling her his brave princess, reminding her to carry on with love and strength.
Now, whenever grief weighs her down, Nella plays his voice and finds comfort in the story of their love—still alive in every word.
