Her longtime doctor, Dr. David Genecov, was killed in a car crash. Missy Robertson informed her Instagram fans that Mia underwent surgery to repair her fractured palate and lip.
Since Dr. Genecov had been Mia’s doctor for a number of years prior to his passing, his passing has impacted her life.
He not only provided her with medical care, but he was also incredibly compassionate and supportive throughout. His passing has upset Mia and her family, who have loved their time together over the years.
Mia Robertson has been fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and compassionate pediatrician all of her childhood.
She will always treasure her memories of him, even if his passing has left them all in disbelief and grief. Mia’s heart will always carry Dr. Genecov’s love as a continual reminder that he will never be forgotten.
Missy Robertson talks about how she and her daughter, Mia Robertson, were affected by her husband’s kindness and unwavering support.
His loving demeanor brought them comfort, and his words of encouragement inspired them to take on any challenge. In July, Mia underwent her fourteenth surgery, which she believes to be the final one she will ever require.
She established the “Mia Moo Fund” in order to provide healthcare to other kids and free them from having to cover up their smiles due to health issues. Thanks in part to the encouragement of their family and friends who have stood with them through thick and thin, Missy and Mia are more important than ever.
Missy’s husband was polite and helpful, which helped stabilize and bring tranquility to an otherwise chaotic situation. His presence gave Mia the support she needed to face an uncertain future, which enabled her undergo her fourteenth treatment in July without anxiety.
In addition, he helped them become stronger than either of them could have imagined before these difficulties; day by day, they felt more capable of facing any challenges that came their way with bravery and elegance.
As a result of this journey, Mia founded the “Mia Moo Fund,” a nonprofit dedicated to helping kids in need of medical attention by providing financial assistance so they won’t have to give up their smiles for want of funds.
Mia received the heartbreaking news from Missy Robertson. Dr. Genecov left a lasting legacy of elegance and beauty, as well as a passionate desire to involve his patients in decision-making, that those who knew him best will never forget.
Mia considers herself lucky to have connected with Dr. David Genecov. He made an unrivaled contribution to her experience with broken lip and palate, as well as numerous medical advancements that will benefit future generations.
Mia’s mother begged everyone to pray for people who were in agony as a result of this tragedy, saying that she could no longer remember life before her appointment with Dr. David.
The family will always be grateful for the doctor’s contributions to medical advancements that have improved lives all across the world, and they will always have a special place in their hearts for his work and kindness at this difficult time.
I Found Love Again 3 Years After My Husband’s Death — One Day My Daughter Said, ‘Mommy, New Dad Asked Me to Keep a Secret from You. Is That Okay?’
Three years after her husband’s tragic death, Hillary thought that she had found love again. But when her 6-year-old daughter reveals a chilling secret about her new stepdad, everything unravels…
After Charles, my husband, passed away in a freak work accident, my world fell apart. For three years, I stumbled through life, keeping it together for my 6-year-old daughter, Maggie. She was my everything. Is my everything.
Since then, she’s been the biggest reason for me to get out of bed. But after a while, even her sweet smiles couldn’t fill the aching void.

Then Jacob came along.
He had this warm smile that made you feel safe, like everything would be okay. He was patient, kind, and most importantly, he adored Maggie.
I saw my child light up around him in ways I hadn’t seen since my husband’s death. Slowly, I let myself believe again. Maybe life after Charles did have happiness, and maybe that also involved another person, too.

“Hillary,” I imagined him saying. “We had years of being each other’s ‘great’ love, but it’s time to find another kind of love now. Go be happy. Do it for Maggie. Do it for you.”
And so I did. I let Jacob in, and soon, a relationship blossomed.
Two months ago, I married Jacob on a little farm with a duck pond. I thought I had found the missing piece of our family. Or at least, a piece that would help Maggie and I move on with our lives.
But sometimes, life doesn’t just throw you curveballs. Instead, it aims straight for your heart.

Let me tell you everything.
One evening, as I tucked Maggie into bed, she clutched her favorite bunny tightly and looked at me with those big brown eyes.
“Mommy?” she said hesitantly.
“Yes, my love?” I asked. “What’s going on?”
Her voice dropped to a whisper.

“New-Dad asked me to keep a secret from you. Is that okay?”
The words hit me like a punch to my core. My stomach twisted violently.
“Baby girl, you know you can call Jacob ‘Dad,’ right?” I asked, trying to pace myself before my little girl spewed out whatever secret she was going to unleash.
“I like New-Dad better,” she said, pouting. “So… is it okay? The secret?”
“No, sweetheart,” I said softly, trying to keep my voice steady. “You can always tell me anything. What’s wrong?”

She fidgeted, biting her lip.
“New-Dad said I shouldn’t tell you… but yesterday, when you were at work, I woke up early from my nap and went looking for him. He promised me that we could play on the PlayStation. I couldn’t find him anywhere.”
A cold chill crept over me.
“What do you mean?” I asked, brushing her hair back gently. “Dad wasn’t here when you woke up? He left you alone?”
She shook her head.

“I called for him, but he didn’t answer,” she continued, glancing at me nervously. “Then I saw him and a pretty lady in a red dress come out of the basement. He told me not to tell you.”
My heart raced.
“What were they doing down there?”
She shook her head.
“I don’t know, Mama. I just know he told me not to tell you. But you said secrets are bad, so…” Her voice faltered, and she looked at me like she’d done something wrong.

“You did the right thing, sweetheart,” I said, trying to mask my growing unease. “What did she look like?”
“She had long blonde hair, like a princess. And a red dress. She smelled nice, too.”
The basement?
It was just a dusty, unfinished space filled with old boxes and tools. Jacob and I barely stepped foot in there since he moved in.
Why would he take a woman down there?

Later that night, as Jacob scrolled through his phone on the couch, I confronted him.
“Maggie told me there was a woman here yesterday,” I said, arms crossed. “She said you took her to the basement. Care to explain?”
His face flashed with something.
Guilt?
Panic?
But then he quickly recovered.

“Oh, that?” he asked with a laugh. “She’s an interior designer. I wanted to surprise you by fixing up the basement. It’s been a mess for years.”
“An interior designer?” I repeated, skepticism lacing my voice.
“Yeah! I wanted to turn it into a cozy family space for us. I thought it’d be a nice gift, you know? I wanted a projector, a mini-fridge, and maybe even a popcorn maker.”
He led me to the basement and flipped on the light. To my shock, the dingy space had been transformed — painted walls, new furniture, warm lighting.

It was… beautiful. Jacob grinned, clearly pleased with himself.
“What do you think?”
I forced a smile. But something didn’t sit right. Why had he been so secretive about it? And there was something about Maggie’s description of the woman that just nagged at me.
That night, while Jacob slept, I opened his social media. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for, but my gut told me there was more to this story.

Then I saw it.
A photo from two years ago, before we met. It was of Jacob, who was smiling widely, his arm wrapped around a woman with long blond hair, wearing a red dress.
My stomach churned.
Was this the same woman Maggie had seen?
The next morning, I showed the picture to Maggie.
“Is this her?” I asked, my voice tight.
Her eyes widened.
“Yes, Mommy. That’s her.”

I felt the room spin. Jacob had lied. He did know the woman. But I needed proof before confronting him again.
When Jacob left for work, I retrieved the hidden cameras I’d installed in the garage and the porch after my husband’s death, and set them up in the basement and living room. I knew Jacob wouldn’t notice them, he was aloof when it came to details.
Later, I told Jacob that I had a last-minute work trip for a few days.
“Not a problem, love,” he said. “I’ll watch Maggie.”

“No, I was actually thinking of taking her to my mother. She’s been asking for a sleepover for a while, and I think Maggie could use some time out from our routine. Are you okay with that?”
“Absolutely,” he said. “We can all just have a break. You too, Hillary. You need a break in between work, okay?”
Later that day, I took Maggie to my mother and told her what was going on.

“Darling, I hope you get the answers you need,” she said, pushing a plate of cookies toward me. “You and Maggie have been through too much. The last thing you need is to worry about a man who is supposed to be your peace.”
I nodded.
She was right, of course. Jacob’s presence in our lives had been peaceful, and he had lit our lives in a light that had been dimmed by Charles’s death. But since Maggie’s confession, I had felt nothing but anxiety and a sense of dread that refused to leave me.

That night, I camped out in a hotel room nearby. I sat on the bed eating a tub of ice cream, watching the camera feed obsessively. But as the hours went by, nothing happened. Jacob lounged in front of the TV, drinking milk from the carton, eating chocolate-covered pretzels, and just… being.
The next morning, as I sat by the window eating my breakfast, my paranoia felt consuming and ridiculous. The day went by without anything out of the ordinary. Jacob lazed around the house. I went to bed thinking that I was just being unreasonable.

Until a notification buzzed:
MOTION DETECTED.
My heart pounded as I opened the app, switching to where motion had been detected. There he was, Jacob, standing in the basement, kissing the woman in red. I watched as she whispered something in his ear, and they laughed.
He was cheating.
In my home.

Fueled by adrenaline, I raced back to the house and pulled into the driveway just as Jacob was walking her to her car. When he saw me, his face turned into a grimace.
“Oh, honey! You’re home now? In the middle of the night?” he stammered. “This is the designer I told you about.”
“Really?” I gasped sarcastically, crossing my arms. “She does late-night calls?”

“She does… she’s busy.”
“Right, and I just watched you make out with her in my basement, Jacob. Is that part of the job?”
Jacob froze, his mouth opening and closing. The woman rolled her eyes and turned to him.
“Finally, she knows,” she snapped. “Hillary, you’ve finally gotten with the program. Jeez. How did you not see anything sooner? Now, you, Jacob, can come back to me.”
“What?” I gasped.

“We’ve been together for 10 years, sweetheart. He told me that he was only with you because you had a fancy house and a steady paycheck. Being a sad widow was a bonus, really.”
Her words felt like a slap. I stared at Jacob, waiting for him to deny it.
He didn’t. He didn’t say a word.
“Get out,” I demanded. “Both of you. Get out now.”
“You’re not going to say anything?” she asked him.
The woman stormed off, slamming the car door. Jacob tried to apologize, but I pointed to the street.

“Out. Now,” I hissed. “Don’t you ever come back.”
The next day, I packed all of Jacob’s things and threw them into bin bags. I was going to leave them outside his mother’s house, but then I decided to do something better.
I left them at a construction site. I figured the workers could help themselves. Then, I drove to my mother’s house, ready to see my little girl.
“What happened?” my mother asked, peering at me.

“I’ll tell you tomorrow,” I said. “Today is about Maggie.”
I packed Maggie into the car and took her for ice cream. As she dug into her sundae, I leaned over.
“You did the right thing by telling me the truth, sweetheart. I’m so proud of you.”
She smiled, her face lighting up.
“No more secrets, Mommy,” she said.
“That’s right,” I said, pulling her into a hug. “But when we get home, I need you to know that Jacob won’t be there. He’s not going to be with us anymore.”

She was quiet for a while and then she spoke.
“Mom? I didn’t like New-Dad that much anyway.”
Jacob was gone, and so was the life I thought we were building. But as I looked at Maggie, I realized I didn’t need him. I had her, my home, and the strength to keep going.
Sometimes, losing the wrong person is the way to make room for the life you truly deserve.
