"Well, this is… unexpected," Maya muttered, staring at the screen. The DNA results had revealed a half-sister, born to a mother who had tragically passed away years ago. The sister, Lily, had grown up in difficult circumstances. Maya learned from mutual friends that Lily had experienced hardship. Maya made contact. She invited Lily to dinner, then a weekend away at the beach. Maya’s home felt brighter when Lily was around. She helped her with her studies, and with making friends. The joy of giving filled the space around them both.
