A Shocking Evening
I thought my adoptive daughter was taking me to a nursing home. But when I saw the real destination, I was completely shocked.
After my husband passed away far too early, his little daughter was only five years old. From that day on, I took full responsibility for her care. I fed her, tended to her when she was sick, helped with her studies, and spent sleepless nights by her bedside. Later, I supported her through college, both financially and emotionally.
Years of Love and Sacrifice
Now, my adoptive daughter is thirty. She had been by my side all these years. Lately, however, I noticed her becoming distant and cold. I worried that caring for me had become too much for her.
One evening, she came home and said:
— Pack your things. Just the essentials for now.
I was confused:
— Where are we going?
The Surprise Revealed
When I saw the destination, I was stunned. The car stopped in front of a huge two-story house. I wiped my tears and stepped out.
Before me stood something incredible: a well-kept garden, a white façade, wide windows, and a spacious yard.
My daughter’s voice trembled as she said:
— Mom… this is our home now. You’ve always dreamed of a place like this. All this time, I’ve been saving to give you the house of your dreams. Forgive me for seeming cold these past few days — I had to hide everything for the surprise. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.
Tears of Happiness
I stood in shock, hardly believing my eyes. The tears on my cheeks were no longer from sadness — they were tears of joy. I realized her love had always been alive. It just revealed itself in the most unexpected and touching way.
