On Mother’s Day, after my children arrived home from school, the doorbell rang. I went to answer it, and two clean-faced, tall, smiling boys stood in front of the door. They held two of the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen. They said to me, “Do you remember us? You often fed us cookies! They were so delicious. We wanted to come back and thank you and say Happy Mother’s Day because you were like a mom to us!” I couldn’t help crying, and thanked them.
I remembered the old days. I was a single mom with three young children of my own. The two boys were a bit older than my children. They always visited my yard. Every day they enjoyed themselves with my two girls and one small boy.
I spent a lot of time baking healthy cookies. The two boys played happily in my yard, and they were quite happy to share food, books and games. And then, for a time, they didn’t visit us. I wanted to know what happened in their lives, and hoped for the best.
But now they came back and thanked me. This is the best gift I have ever received from the two young boys.
