When should you break a promise? - Sarah Stroud and Michael Vazquez

For decades, Yvonne and Zaina have been happily married and co-leading a non-profit developing a cure for a life-threatening disease.

This work is largely funded by profits from a successful company Yvonne founded.

But one day the couple is involved in a tragic car accident, and Yvonne is rushed to the hospital.

The doctors can only do so much, and on her deathbed, Yvonne asks Zaina to promise her two things.

First, she wants Zaina to continue using the company’s funds to support their non-profit and its research.

Second, Yvonne recalls a conversation from years earlier where the two pledged that no matter what the future held, they would never remarry.

And in her final moments, Yvonne asks Zaina to recommit that pledge.

Holding her wife closely, Zaina promises to uphold Yvonne’s wishes.
