I Have A Daughter With A Limp From An Old Acciden

She’s Finally Confident Again. My Fiancée, Rachel, Seemed Supportive. Her Family Invited Us Over. I Asked Rachel To Warn Them Not To Mention The Limp. Dinner Was Fine Until Her Dad Smirked: “You’re Not Walking Like That At The Wedding, Right?”

Furious, I Asked Lily If She Wanted To Leave. She Nodded, But Before We Could, She Stood, Looked Him Dead In The Eye, And Said, “I’ll Walk However I Want, And I’ll Still Be Better Than You.” The room fell silent. You could almost hear everyone’s heart beating. My fiancée’s face turned pale, and her mother looked like she wanted to crawl under the table. I reached for Lily’s hand, but she shook her head and stood taller, even though I could see the pain flashing across her face with every second on her feet.

Rachel’s dad, Franklin, looked stunned, then angry. His face flushed red. “That’s no way to talk to an elder,” he spat, slamming his fork on the plate so hard it rattled. I couldn’t believe the man had the nerve to double down instead of apologizing. I looked at Rachel, expecting her to step in, but she just sat there staring at her napkin like it was the most interesting thing in the world. My stomach dropped. I thought she was on our side, but now I wasn’t so sure. Lily glanced at me, her eyes wide but determined. I whispered, “We can go,” but she just shook her head again.
