She Returned and Asked for My Help. Did I Make the Right Decision?
My mother left me in a supermarket when I was only a few months old with a few photos of herself and a note. For twenty years, I grew up wondering why she abandoned me and if she would ever come back. Despite my curiosity, I moved forward, building a life and family of my own.
The photo you see was taken by a kind store clerk who found me that fateful day. She became my guardian and raised me as her own, giving me the love and support I needed. I always kept this photo as a reminder of where my life began.
Recently, I received an unexpected knock on my door. To my shock, there she was — my mother, frail and looking old. She looked at me with a mix of regret and desperation in her eyes.
