Six-year-old Alan, a neglected child in foster care, cried alone in a church, begging God to send his mother to him. Amid his pleas, a voice from behind spoke, “I’ll take you.” Startled, Alan and his guardian, Nancy, turned to see a woman, Annette, who tearfully claimed to be his mother.
Annette explained her heartbreaking story: she became pregnant at 16 and, after being abandoned by her boyfriend, was pressured by her parents to give up her baby. Unable to care for him, she left him at a shelter, but never forgot him. Now, married with a daughter, she visited the church regularly, watching Alan from a distance. That day, however, she couldn’t resist revealing herself after hearing his cries.
Annette began the custody process, proving her identity with a DNA test. Though she reclaimed Alan, her decision came at a steep price: her husband divorced her, unwilling to support another man’s child, and her parents disowned her.
Despite the losses, Annette found happiness with her two children, showing that family is built on love and commitment, not society’s approval. Her story illustrates the power of redemption, sacrifice, and the courage to prioritize what truly matters.
Young Man Notices A Lady Following Him
A young man noticed an elderly lady following him around while shopping in a supermarket. She stopped when he stopped and kept staring at him. Eventually, at the checkout, she approached him and said, “I hope I haven’t made you feel ill at ease; it’s just that you look so much like my late son.”
The man replied, “That’s okay.”
She then made an unusual request: “I know it’s silly, but if you’d call out, ‘Goodbye, Mom’ as I leave the store, it would make me so happy.”
Obligingly, as she left, the man called out, “Goodbye Mom!” She waved and smiled back.
Feeling pleased for brightening her day, the man proceeded to pay for his groceries. The clerk said, “That comes to $121.85.”
Surprised, the man exclaimed, “How come so much! I only bought 5 items.”
The clerk replied, “Yeah, but your mother said you’d be paying for her things too.”
