How Can a Mother Do Such a Thing? She Sent Her Four-Year-Old Son to a Children’s Home Rather Than Get Him Treated – A Tale of Heartbreak, True Friendship, and a Second Chance at Family
How on earth do such mothers exist! She sent her own child off to a childrens home because she couldnt be bothered to take care of him, and the poor boy was only four.
Ive got this friendher names Emma. Weve been thick as thieves for thirty years now. Emma is an absolute gem of a human and would have made a smashing mum, only it just didnt happen for her and her husband. Children, I mean. The universe simply didnt hand them any, but they kept on togetherprobably down to the strength of their love. No dramatic divorces there!
As for me, I have kids of my owntwo daughters. Naturally, Emma became their godmother. Shes my best mate, lives just round the cornerno-brainer, really! I still remember how Emma would play with my two, and on countless occasions, shed babysit when I needed a break, or, lets be honesta decent cup of tea. Afterwards, wed have a cry in the kitchen together about how unfair it all was that she couldnt have her own. Life, eh?
One day, her relatives rang up to deliver a stonker of news. Some distant cousin on her fathers side had decided to put her little boyher own soninto foster care. The doctors had given him a difficult diagnosis, and money for treatment? Nonexistent. The mother herselfwell, she was more interested in chasing blokes than raising children. The poor lad didnt stand a chance with her.
Emma told me about it and confessed she felt she absolutely had to go see this child. As her other mate later recounted, the moment Emma clapped eyes on the boywith those sorrowful, confused eyesshe just knew in her bones she had to take him home. Her husband gave the green light, too.
It wasnt all sunshine and roses for them, of course. There followed more than a year of hospital appointments, therapy, and every specialist under the British sun. The boy, Jamie, was autistic. Still, somehow, they did everything possibleand then someto help him find his footing.
You wont believe this: today, JAMIE is twenty-four, as ordinary and charming a young chap as youll ever meet. Hes finished university, got a stack of sporting medals for his troubles, and yesterdayI kid you notI was at his wedding.
Now, if thats not a proper ending, I dont know what is.

“‘How ill‑timed their anniversary,’ she whispered. ‘They even managed to celebrate it out in the village.’ Snippets of a disgruntled man’s remarks reached Lucy, and she realized her husband’s brother had invited them to a 25‑year—silver—wedding celebration.”
How illtimed this anniversary of theirs is, Lucy muttered, her voice trembling with frustration. Theyve found the nerve to celebrate...
