“I lost my biological mother just minutes after I was born. I grew up not knowing her. The incredible woman you see in this picture is my stepmom.
My dad married her when I was only one. She had a 2-year-old son, and together, we became a family. Four years later, we lost my dad. Just 2 years after that, my stepmom gave birth to my baby sister. Unfortunately, my dad’s brothers, my uncles, took control of all of his properties. My stepmom didn’t let that stop her; she moved us to a new town for a fresh start. I was five years old then.
My stepmom raised me, her son, & our baby sister. She worked hard to make sure all of us went to school. If I’m honest, I’ll tell you with complete confidence that this woman loves me even more than her own biological children. I didn’t even know she wasn’t my biological mother until I was 19 when she finally told me. I was completely shocked.
I got pregnant at 20 & had to drop out of school. The baby’s father left. I was considering ending the pregnancy, but my stepmom found out and spoke with me about it. She took on the responsibility, caring for me & my baby. I was a brilliant student, but cuz of our financial struggles, I thought I’d given up on ever returning to my studies.
When my baby turned 2, Stepmom told me to go back to school. She promised to take care of my baby while I focused on my education. We didn’t have much money, but she did everything she could, even selling many of her personal belongings so I could finish school. I knew education was the only way to escape hardship. I made sure I stayed 100% focused on my studies without distractions.
Now, glory be to God, I’m finally a graduate in Chemical Engineering! I actually graduated as the best student in my department and earned a scholarship to study and work abroad.
Tears of love and joy stream down my face every time I think of my stepmom. She’s an amazing woman, and I can never thank her enough for all the sacrifices she’s made for me, for us.
To My Dearest Stepmom ❤️Thank you for loving and taking care of me since I was one. You raised me like your own child, and I’m forever grateful. Your kindness, patience, & guidance have made me who I am today. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Thank you for being an amazing stepmom! I pray that God grants you a long, healthy life & blesses me so I can take proper care of you and make you proud, You will certainly reap the fruits of your labor Mama.
Thank you😭😭❤️❤️”#happy #mom #motherhood #inspiring #testimony Credit – Realmz
