Weddings Guests Of A Woman And Homeless Man Were Laughing Until They Saw His Gift

By Edmund Blake

A Message That Wasn’t Expected

Months had flown by, and Jane and Tom were relishing every moment of their happily married life. Tom had seamlessly settled into Jane’s cozy abode, considering he had no place of his own. Ever the supportive partner, Jane wholeheartedly took on the dual role of a loving spouse and a helpful job-hunting ally.

Drawing her gaze, she saw a new text message notification on the screen, bearing the name of her long-estranged mother. It had been months, even years, since they last exchanged words, ever since that unforgettable day when her mother bid them farewell, leaving a void in Jane’s heart that time had failed to heal.
