Letter

for everything

It was a rainy Saturday morning when little Jack was sitting in his room, staring at the picture frame on his bedside table. The frame held a photo of him with his adoptive mother, Sarah. She was smiling brightly, her arms wrapped around him in a tight hug. Jack couldn't help but feel grateful for her presence in his life.

As he looked at the photo, he felt a surge of emotions taking over him. He couldn't imagine his life without Sarah. She had been there for him since the day he was brought to the orphanage, and she was the one who took him home and made him a part of her family. Jack was grateful for her love and kindness, and he knew he had to express it somehow.

With determination in his heart, Jack reached for his notebook and pen and started writing.

'Dear Mom,

I hope this letter finds you well. I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and love for you. From the moment I met you, I felt a special connection to you. You have been my guiding light, my rock, and my source of strength. I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me.

When I first came to the orphanage, I was scared and alone. But then you came along and changed everything. You gave me a warm and loving home, and most importantly, a family. You showed me what unconditional love truly means, and I am forever grateful for that.

I still remember the day when you took me to my new room, and you said, 'This is your room now, Jack. You can decorate it however you like.' That moment, I felt a sense of belongingness and happiness that I hadn't felt before. Thank you for giving me a place to call my own.

You have always been there for me, through all my ups and downs. You never gave up on me, even when I made mistakes or misbehaved. You always believed in me and encouraged me to be the best version of myself. I cannot thank you enough for your love, patience, and understanding.

I am also thankful for all the memories we have made together. From baking cookies on rainy days to playing in the park, every moment spent with you has been special and precious. I cherish these memories and look forward to making many more with you.

Mom, you mean more to me than words can express. I know I may not have come from your womb, but you have always been my true mother. I am grateful for the love and care you have given me. I hope that I can make you proud and repay you in some small way for all that you have done for me.

I may not always say it, but I love you, Mom. Thank you for being my superhero, my role model, and most importantly, my mom.

Forever grateful,

Jack'

As Jack finished writing, tears streamed down his cheeks. He folded the letter and placed it in an envelope, along with the photo of him and Sarah. He snuck out of his room and placed the envelope on Sarah's bedside table.

The next morning, Sarah woke up to find the letter and photo. As she read Jack's heartfelt words, she couldn't hold back her tears. She hugged the photo frame tightly, feeling truly blessed to have Jack in her life.

From that day on, Sarah made sure to tell Jack how loved and appreciated he was every day. And as Jack grew up to be a kind, loving, and grateful young man, he knew that Sarah would always hold a special place in his heart as his true mother.
