I went home to celebrate Mother’s Day with my parents only to discover a shocking truth! I discovered a truth that spun my world around but it also opened my eyes to a reality I wasn’t aware of. Come with me as we delve into the story of how I met my REAL mother.
When I, Miranda, came to my parents’ house unexpectedly to congratulate and celebrate my mom on Mother’s Day, I didn’t expect to be the one surprised! I was away for college and had come back home to honor my mother on that special holiday.
“Mira!” my mother said as she saw me walking in the front door, lunging toward me for a hug. “Hi, mom! Happy Mother’s Day!” I said as I embraced her back before handing her the flowers I’d gotten.
My dad also embraced me, and they were all happy to see me despite me being gone for only a few months. It was already late at night after we watched a movie, and I fell asleep. But I woke up in a daze hearing my mom and dad whispering.
I was about to let them know I was awake. But then I heard my mother saying this, “I guess it’s too late Jacob, she won’t forgive us after finding it out.” She sounded quite distraught by what they were talking about, and I was about to say something when my dad spoke up.
“She is strong, my love. Mira’s our daughter no matter what, we raised her.” My world shattered, leaving me with many questions… “Am I adopted? Is my sister adopted? But we look exactly like our parents!” I was so confused!
Before delving any further into what they were talking about, my parents snuck off to their room. They left me “asleep” on the couch. I must have tossed and turned a million times replaying what I heard before sleep took hold of me again.
