You and your husband couldn’t afford to raise me, so you gave me up for adoption. I was raised in a loving, wealthy family, but something was always missing. I finally realized—it was you, Mom.
I want to be part of your life. If you’re willing, I bought a house, and I had this key made for you. You’re welcome to live with me. Please, let me take care of you.
With love, your delivery man, Ted.
Emma’s hands shook as she read the words. Tears streamed down her face. The child she had given up all those years ago had found her—and had been by her side all along.
Just then, another knock at the door.
She opened it, and there he was.
“Hi, Mom,” Ted said softly.
Emma burst into tears. “My son… I can’t believe it. I am so sorry, sweetheart. I truly am.”
“You don’t have to be,” Ted whispered, hugging her tightly. “It’s not too late. We can still be a family.”
That night, they packed her things. A moving truck sat outside, ready to take her to her new home.
When they arrived, Emma was met with even more surprises—Ted’s wife and children, all smiling, ready to welcome her.
For the first time in years, Emma wasn’t alone. She had a family. And this time, she would never have to say goodbye.
