Mother Abandoned her blind daughter in the forest years later she regrets it #africanfolktalesqueen

the cries of a newborn echoed through the small Hut as Margaret lay weak and exhausted on the mat The Village Midwife an elderly woman named Mama Esther wrapped the tiny baby in A Worn cloth and handed her to Margaret it's a girl Mama Esther said smiling warmly a beautiful one Margaret weakly lifted her head to look at her baby but the joy that should have filled her heart was absent something was wrong the baby wasn't looking at her she wasn't responding to movement Mama Esther gently waved her hand in front of the child's face then

sighed deeply she she does not see Mama Esther said Margaret's heart pounded what do you mean your daughter is blind Margaret Margaret felt the air leave her lungs she stared at the baby in her arms her tiny face innocent her hands moving aimlessly a heavy silence filled the Hut outside the village women waited eager to hear the news but Margaret could already hear The Whispers that would spread like wildfire a cursed child a bad Omen who will marry a blind girl she will bring suffering to her mother Margaret clenched her teeth her body trembling with

fear the father of the baby had died months ago now she was alone and the world was about to turn its back on her that night as the baby cried softly beside her Margaret made a decision a decision that would haunt her for the rest of her life the Moon was high in the sky as Margaret walked through the thick forest her heart pounded with every step the sound of crickets and distant howls filled the air but she kept moving in her arms the tiny baby whimpered Margaret stopped near an old tree looking around as

if hoping someone would stop her but no one was there only the Shadows of the Night tears streamed down her face as she knelt and placed the baby on a soft patch of grass I'm sorry she whispered choking on her own words I can't I can't do this she turned away squeezing her eyes shut the baby's cries grew louder Margaret's feet felt like Stone refusing to move just walk away she told herself someone will find her someone will take care of her but deep inside she knew the truth no one came to this part of

the forest with one last look at her daughter Margaret ran she ran without looking back she ran leaving behind the one soul that needed her the most the baby's cries pierced through the Silence of the forest echoing in the night somewhere nearby a man on Horseback slowed down Dr Samuel was on his way back from a village where he had treated sick children he was tired but the sound of a crying child stopped him in his tracks he listened for a moment then turned his horse toward the sound as he reached a large tree he

spotted something on the ground a tiny bundle wrapped in cloth his heart clenched he jumped off his horse and hurried forward gently he picked up the baby his experienced hands recognizing weakness and hunger who would leave you here little one he whispered rocking her gently the baby stopped crying for a moment as if sensing kindness Dr Samuel sighed deeply he couldn't leave her here he couldn't ignore the call of Fate holding the baby close he climbed back onto his horse and rode into the night Dr Sam arrived home just before Dawn his wife Mary Sat

by the fire waiting for him the moment she saw the baby in his arms her eyes widened Samuel whose Child is This she asked rushing toward him he sighed shaking his head she was abandoned in the forest someone left her to die Mary gasped placing a hand over her mouth Samuel gently placed the baby in Mary's arms she needs us Mary looked down at the tiny face her heart melting she's beautiful Samuel smiled I want to call her grace because despite everything she has survived tears filled Mary's eyes Grace light she whispered she will bring

light into our lives that night Grace slept in a warm home surrounded by love years passed and Grace grew up under the love and care of Doctor Samuel and Mary though she was blind she never let it Define her she learned to use her hands to feel the world her ears to hear what others ignored and her heart to understand what sight could not show Grace Mary called one morning as the little girl played in the yard come inside my dear Grace turned her head toward the sound smiling brightly she had memorized every part of

the house and walked confidently inside you called mama she asked feeling for Mary's hands Mary held her tiny fingers squeezing them gently I have something for you she placed a small wooden flute in Grace's hand I want you to learn how to play this Grace felt the smooth wood curiosity lighting up her face music yes Mary said music can be seen with the heart not just the eyes that day grace sat outside pressing the flute to her lips at first The Sounds were broken and sharp but as the days passed she learned soon The Sweet

Sound of her flute floated through the air touching the hearts of everyone who listened one evening as Dr Samuel watched Grace play a thought crossed his mind what if she can see he had treated many patients but Grace's blindness was something he had never fully examined that night he spent hours reading old medical books searching for answers the next day he took Grace to his clinic and conducted several tests his hands shook as he went through the results there is hope he whispered Grace's blindness wasn't permanent a surgery could restore her sight but the surgery

was expensive still Dr Samuel made a decision no matter what he would find a way to give Grace The Gift of Sight even if it took everything he had Dr Samuel sat in his Clinic staring at the test results his heart pounded with hope and fear Grace's blindness was not a curse it could be reversed with a delicate surgery but the cost was high he leaned back rubbing his forehead he had saved many lives in his years as a doctor but this time it was different this was his daughter the little girl who had brought

light into his life Mary walked in and saw the worry on his face what is it Samuel she asked he looked at her and sighed Grace can see again Mary but the surgery is expensive we don't have that kind of money Mary's eyes filled with tears she sat beside him gripping his hands then we will find a way Grace deserves this chance Samuel nodded I will sell the clinic if I have to Mary gar but this Clinic is your life he smiled sadly Grace is my life that night Samuel went out in search of funds

he asked for loans spoke to friends and even considered selling his home but the money was still not enough one day he received an unexpected visitor a wealthy businessman named Mr Benson who had once been his patient I hear you need money doctor Mr Benson said leaning forward how much Samuel hesitated before answering Mr Benson smiled I owe you my life I will pay for the surgery Samuel's eyes widened you you will yes you saved me once let me do the same for your daughter tears rolled down Samuel's face as he gripped Mr Benson's hands

thank you thank you so much hope had finally come the hospital room was filled with tension Grace lay on the bed her tiny fingers gripping Mary's hand mama will it hurt she asked softly Mary kissed her forehead no my love you will sleep and when you wake up you will see the world Grace's lips trembled and I will see you Mary's heart clenched yes my child you will see me Dr Samuel walked in his face masked with confidence though his heart pounded with fear he knew the risks any mistake could change Grace's life forever but

he had to try the nurses wheeled Grace into the operating room Samuel followed Whispering a silent prayer hours passed Mary sat in the waiting area gripping her Rosary her eyes red from crying finally the doors opened Dr Samuel stepped out his face unreadable Mary rushed to him Samuel tell me he took a deep breath then smiled the surgery was successful Mary collapsed into his arms sobbing with relief 2 Days Later it was time to remove Grace's bandages Dr Samuel and Mary stood by her bedside as the nurse gently unwrapped the white cloth around her eyes

Grace blinked her breathing quickened Grace can you see me Samuel asked his voice shaking Grace looked up her dark brown eyes scanning the room slowly a smile stretched across her lips mama papa I see you Mary burst into tears hugging her daughter tightly gra 's eyes widened as she saw her reflection in the mirror for the first time this is me she whispered yes my love Mary said stroking her hair this is you tears filled Grace's eyes she turned to Samuel and hugged him tightly thank you Papa for the first time in her life she

saw the man who had saved her the man who had given her a second chance at life and for the first time Samuel saw the eyes of the daughter he had chosen to love far away in a small village Margaret sat outside her Hut staring at the Sunset her hands rested on her stomach empty lifeless for years she had tried to have more children she had visited every healer every priest every doctor but nothing worked why God she whispered why did you take my children from me a deep voice behind her spoke maybe because you

abandoned the one he gave you Margaret turned sharply it was mama Esther the The Village Midwife you think I don't know what you did Mama Esther continued you left that child to die and now you cry for children Margaret trembled I was scared I was alone you were selfish Mama Esther spat and now the gods have punished you Margaret burst into tears she fell to her knees gripping the earth I want her back she sobbed I need to find her mama Esther scoffed it's been years do you even know she is Margaret looked up determination

flashing in her eyes I will find her even if it takes my whole life Margaret sold her belongings and left the village she traveled from town to town asking about a blind girl who was abandoned years ago most people laughed at her others shook their heads in pity but she kept searching one day in a busy Market she overheard a woman talking do you know the famous doctor who adopted a blind girl Margaret's heart pounded she turned to the woman where she asked desperately where is this doctor the woman replied in the city his name

is Doctor Samuel the girl is not blind anymore she had surgery Margaret's knees went weak her daughter was alive and she could see tears streamed down her face as she whispered Grace my grace she arrived in the city exhausted and hungry stood outside the clinic her heart pounding her legs ACH from Days of walking but nothing mattered more than what lay ahead she took a deep breath and stepped through the door A young nurse at the front desk looked up good afternoon ma'am how can I help you Margaret swallowed hard her throat dry I I

need to see Doctor Samuel the nurse frowned do you have an appointment Margaret shook her head please it's important tell him it's about his daughter the nurse hesitated then sighed wait here Margaret Stood Still gripping the edge of her wrapper she had rehearsed this moment in her head over and over she would kneel beg cry if she had to she had made a terrible mistake years ago but she was here now she was ready to make it right minutes later the door opened and a tall well-dressed man stepped out his face was serious his eyes

sharp and full of wisdom Dr Samuel Margaret's heart clenched as she looked at the man who had raised her child you are the woman who wanted to see me he asked his voice calm but firm Margaret nodded quickly yes doctor please we need to talk Dr Samuel folded his arms make it quick I have patience to attend to Margaret's lips trembled she fell to her knees please doctor I am here for my daughter Dr Samuel's expression didn't change your daughter Margaret wiped her tears Grace she is my child I am her mother for a moment

there was silence then Dr Samuel threw back his head and laughed Margaret froze it was not the reaction she expected his laughter was bitter mocking and filled with disbelief you must be a foolish woman he said his voice turning cold you abandoned a helpless baby in the forest like an animal and now you think you can walk in here and claim my beautiful daughter Margaret's face crumpled with shame doctor I was young young I was scared I made a mistake Dr Samuel's eyes darkened a mistake you left her to die and now that she has

grown into a strong intelligent and wonderful young woman you suddenly remember you're her mother Margaret wept please doctor let me see her let me tell her the truth I want to take her home Dr Samuel's hands clenched into fists you must be crazy his voice was sharp Like a Knife Grace is already home she has a family a mother and a father who love her she doesn't know you and she doesn't need you Margaret sobbed she deserves to know who I am Dr Samuel took a step closer his face filled with anger if you ever

come near my daughter again I will call the police now get out Margaret's heart shattered she opened her mouth to plead again but Dr Samuel pointed at the door out he thundered tears poured down her face as she staggered to her feet and stumbled toward the the door before stepping out she turned to look at him one last time doctor one day she will know the truth and when she does I pray she forgives me Dr Samuel didn't answer he just watched her leave his heart burning with anger as Margaret disappeared into the street he

exhaled deeply as Margaret disappeared into the street he exhaled deeply he had protected Grace all these years and he was not about to let the woman who abandoned her destroy her life again Dr Samuel walked into his home his face tight with anger he dropped his bag on the chair and sighed heavily Mary who was setting the table for dinner immediately noticed his troubled expression Samuel she called softly walking towards him what's wrong he sat down rubbing his forehead She Came Mary frowned who Dr Samuel lifted his head his jaw clenched Grace's biological mother the

woman who abandoned her in the forest Mary's hands trembled she sat down beside him her heart pounding oh Samuel I knew this day would come Dr Samuel scoffed the audacity she fell on her knees begging me to let her take Grace back Mary gasped gripping her husband's hand take Grace no she's our daughter Samuel she brought so much joy into my life I can't lose her Dr Samuel turned to her his eyes softening he placed his hands over her hers don't worry Mary we won't lose her I will never let that woman take Grace away

from us Mary sighed tears Welling in her eyes but what if one day grace wants to know her what if she asks questions Dr Samuel shook his head we raised her with love she will understand that we are her real family unknown to them Grace was standing by the staircase hidden behind the wall she had been on her way downstairs when she heard her parents speaking at first she was confused but as she listened her entire world shattered her breath hitched she covered her mouth with her hands to stop a so from escaping she wasn't

their real daughter she wasn't their flesh and blood she had been abandoned tears streamed down her face as she backed away her heart breaking into pieces her whole life had been a lie Grace locked herself in her room her body shaking with silent sobs the memories of her childhood flashed through her mind the warm hugs from Mama the Bedtime Stories from Papa the way they always made her feel special but now she felt like a stranger in her own home her mind raced with questions who is my real mother why did she abandon me why

didn't Papa and Mama tell me the truth she pressed her pillow against her face and cried harder the pain was unbearable the parents she had loved all her life weren't really hers she wasn't Grace light she was a child that had been thrown away like garbage the night dragged on and Grace lay awake staring at the ceiling a storm raged in her heart she loved Doctor Samuel and Mary but now she didn't know who she was anymore by morning her decision was made she needed to find the woman who gave birth to her even if

it meant walking into more pain she had to know the truth the morning sun streamed Through the Windows but the house felt cold Mary moved around the kitchen preparing breakfast but something felt off usually by this time Grace would be downstairs playing her favorite morning tunes on the piano or humming as she helped set the table but today silence filled the air Mary frowned she wiped her hands on her apron and walked up the stairs she knocked gently on Grace's door my love are you awake no response she knocked again Grace it's almost 10:00 a.m.

you haven't eaten are you okay then a sharp angry voice came from inside go away Mary Froze that was not her Grace's voice that was a voice filled with pain Grace my child what's wrong she asked her heart pounding you are a liar Grace shouted both you and Papa are liars I don't want to see you Mary gasped she placed her Palm against the door feeling her chest tighten Grace what are you talking about open the door so we can talk no Grace yelled I can't stay with Liars you are not my real parents Mary's

breath caught in her throat she staggered back her hands shaking Grace knew but how Grace please let me explain I don't want to hear anything from you Grace cried just leave me alone tears filled Mary's eyes she had never heard such Anger from grace before it was like a dagger to her heart realizing that Grace was not going to open the door Mary turned and rushed downstairs her hands trembled as she picked up her phone and dialed her husband's number the phone rang twice before he answered Mary what's wrong Dr Samuel's voice was calm but

she could hear the concern in it Mary swallowed hard Samuel it's Grace she's acting strange she locked herself in her room she hasn't eaten and she just called us Liars there was silence on the other end then Dr Samuel's voice turned sharp she knows Mary sobbed I don't know how but she knows the truth she refuses to talk to me she won't even open the door Dr Samuel took a deep breath stay there I'm coming home right now Mary hung up the phone and collapsed onto the couch burying her face in her hands her worst

fear had come true Grace had found out the truth and now she might never see them as her parents again Dr Samuel drove like a madman his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly his mind raced with thoughts how did Grace find out who told her he had always wanted to tell her when she was older when when she was ready but now the truth had come out the wrong way his heart achd at the thought of losing her 20 minutes later he pulled into the driveway and jumped out of the car he ran into the

house where Mary was sitting her face buried in her hands where is she he asked breathlessly Mary sniffed wiping her tears still in her room she wonk talk to me Dr Samuel's jaw tightened he marched up the stairs and stopped in front of Grace's door he knocked his voice firm but gentle Grace opened the door no response he knocked again it's Papa open the door my love letun talk go away Dr Samuel closed his eyes pain slicing through him Grace please listen to me he said softly I know you're hurting but locking yourself away wonk

change anything I trusted you Grace cried from inside I loved you and you lied to me Dr Samuel rested his forehead against the door we didn't Li to you my child we protected you we loved you we still love you then why didn't you tell me the truth Grace's voice broke tears filled doctor Samuel's eyes because we didn't want you to feel unwanted we didn't want you to carry the pain of being abandoned silence for a long moment there was nothing but the sound of Grace's quiet sobs Dr Samuel turned to Mary who stood behind

him her hands clasped together in silent prayer she needs time Time Mary whispered Dr Samuel nodded swallowing the lump in his throat they had given grace everything love care a home but now she had to decide whether to keep them in her heart or push them away forever Dr Samuel sat in his office staring at the documents on his desk but his mind was far away he hadn't slept all night his heart weighed down with fear would Grace ever forgive them would she ever look at him and Mary the same way again he had spent

years saving lives Healing The Sick and bringing hope to others but right now he felt powerless what if he lost the one person who meant the most to him a soft knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts come in he said his voice low the door creaked open and when he looked up his breath caught it was Grace she stepped inside her face calm but her eyes red from crying Dr Samuel quickly stood up his heart racing Grace she walked towards him slowly then stopped in front of his desk for a moment neither

of them spoke the silence was Heavy thick with emotions too deep for Words then Grace took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes I have forgiven you and Mama she said softly Dr Samuel's lips parted his eyes widening you you have Grace nodded her voice steady yes you and Mama are my parents you raised me you loved me you gave me everything and no matter what you will always be my parents Dr Samuel felt his chest tighten his legs felt weak and he had to grip the desk to steady himself Grace stepped closer

her voice breaking with emotion I will never go back to my biological mother daddy never tears spilled down Dr Samuel's face as he rushed forward and pulled her into a tight Embrace thank you my baby he whispered his voice trembling thank you for forg giving us Grace wrapped her arms around him her own tears falling freely I love you daddy she said her voice muffled against his shoulder I don't care where I came from you and mamama are my real family Dr Samuel kissed the top of her head holding her close and I love you

my child so much I don't want to lose you Grace pulled back slightly and wiped his tears with her small hands you will never lose me Daddy never Dr Samuel smiled through his tears and hugged her again in that moment nothing else mattered not the past not the woman who abandoned her all that mattered was the unbreakable bond between a father and his daughter and no one no one would ever take that away two days had passed since Grace forgave Dr Samuel and Mary but the storm was far from over Dr Samuel was in his

office attending to a patient when his secretary rushed in her face pale with worry doctor there's a woman outside demanding to see you she said breathlessly Dr Samuel sighed tell her I'm busy the secretary hesitated sir she's shouting people are gathering outside Dr Samuel frowned who is this woman before the secretary could answer a loud voice echoed from the hallway do Samuel you Thief you stole my baby Dr Samuel's blood ran cold he stood up just as the door burst open and Margaret stormed in her face red with rage you she spat pointing a trembling

finger at him you think you can take what is mine and get away with it Dr Samuel's jaw tightened what are you talking about Margaret scoffed folding her arms you stole my child you kidnapped her and now you pretend to be a saint you and your wife are terrible people Dr Samuel's hands clenched into fists are you out of your mind he said sharply you abandoned a helpless baby in the forest like trash and now you have the audacity to come here and call me a thief Margaret stepped forward her eyes blazing I am her

mother I gave birth to her you had no right to take her Dr Samuel let out a bitter laugh no right no right to save her from Death no right to give her a home tell me woman where were you when she cried for food where were you when she needed love where were you when she was blind and helpless Margaret opened her mouth but no words came out Dr Samuel shook his head in disgust you should be ashamed of yourself Margaret's hands trembled you had no right to raise her without my permission Dr Samuel

slammed his hand on the desk making her Flinch and you had no right to bring her into this world only to throw her away the room fell silent the anger in Dr Samuel's eyes burned through her like fire Margaret took a shaky breath and pointed at him again I will tell the whole world about you everyone will know that you and your wife stole my child Dr Samuel smiled go ahead tell them and while you're at it tell them how you left your own flesh and blood to die alone in the forest tell them how

you were too much of a coward to face your responsibility Margaret's lips quivered but her Pride wouldn't let her back down I will get my daughter back she hissed Dr Samuel's face darkened today should be the last time you ever step into my office if you ever come near my family again I will make sure you are locked up for child abandonment Margaret's eyes widened you you wouldn't dare Dr Samuel leaned forward try me Margaret's breath hitched she knew he had the power to do it her Pride was shattered but she refused to show weakness

she turned on her heel and stormed out slamming the door behind her Dr Samuel sat down heavily his body trembling with anger he knew this wasn't over Margaret wasn't going to give up and that meant the battle for Grace's future had only just begun that evening Dr Samuel walked into his home his face still tense from the encounter with Margaret he removed his coat and sat heavily on the couch rubbing his temples Mary who had been in the kitchen noticed his troubled expression and quickly walked over Samuel what is it she asked sitting beside him

he exhaled deeply she came back Mary that woman came to my office again Mary's eyes widened Margaret what did she say this time Dr Samuel shook his head his anger still simmering she caused a scene in front of my patience screaming that I stole her child she even threatened to tell the whole world that we kidnapped Grace Mary gasped placing a hand over her chest what after all we've done for that girl how dare she Dr Samuel nodded she's determined to take Grace away way and I won't let that happen that woman abandoned her in

the forest she has no right to call herself a mother now Mary's heart pounded she couldn't imagine losing Grace the thought alone sent shivers down her spine she grabbed Samuel's hands and looked him in the eyes Samuel we need to go to the police we legally adopted Grace when we found her we have documents to prove it if Margaret tries anything we must be prepared Dr Samuel thought for a moment and then nodded said you're right we can't take any chances the next morning Dr Samuel went to the police station he explained everything the night

they found Grace in The Forest the legal adoption the love and care they had given her and how Margaret had suddenly returned demanding her back the officer in charge a tall man named inspector Collins listened carefully nodding as he jotted down notes you did the right thing by coming here doctor inspector Collins said according to to the law Margaret has no claim over the child she abandoned her and you legally adopted her if she causes any more trouble call us immediately Dr Samuel sighed in relief thank you inspector I just want to protect my daughter

the officer patted his shoulder we will handle it doctor you've given that girl a good life no one can take that away from you Dr Samuel left the station feeling a little lighter now all he had to do was wait and see if Margaret would come back a week later Dr Samuel was in his office when his secretary entered looking uneasy doctor she's here again Dr Samuel's body tensed Margaret the secretary nodded yes but she seems different she's not shouting this time Dr Samuel frowned standing up he took a deep breath and walked out to

the waiting area Margaret stood there her posture tense but her eyes were not filled with anger this time there was something else in them pain regret Dr Samuel folded his arms what do you want this time Margaret took a shaky breath then to his surprise she fell to her knees doctor I beg you please forgive me she whispered Dr Samuel stiffened he had expected another fight more threats but this this was unexpected he stared at the woman before him the same woman who had once called him a thief who had th threatened to take Grace

away why should I forgive you he asked his voice calm but firm Margaret wiped her tears I have thought about everything and I realize that making peace is the best thing to do I was wrong I should never have abandoned my daughter but please believe me when I say I didn't do it because I didn't love her Dr Samuel narrowed his eyes then why Margaret took a deep breath because of the mockery the shame she looked up at him her eyes filled with sorrow when Grace was born blind my Village turned against me they called

me the mother of a cursed child everywhere I went I heard Whispers I saw the pity in their eyes no man wanted to marry me no one wanted to help me they all said I was doomed tears streamed down her face I was young and scared I thought if I abandoned her my life would be better I thought I could start over but I was wrong doctor so wrong Dr Samuel listened in silence his emotions Waring within him Margaret clasped her hands together I don't want to take Grace from you I know now that she

belongs with you I just I just want a chance to see her to tell her that I'm sorry to beg for her forgiveness Dr Samuel looked at the broken woman before him he thought of the girl he had raised the love he had poured into her the battles he had fought to keep her safe and then he thought of this woman the mother who had given her life yet abandoned her in fear he sighed heavily stand up Margaret he said softly Margaret looked up in Surprise slowly she stood wiping her eyes Dr Samuel met her

gaze I will forgive you not for your sake but for Graces but whether she forgives you or not that is her choice to make Margaret nodded quickly I understand doctor thank you Dr Samuel side if you truly regret what you did then don't cause any more trouble don't try to force your way into her life let her decide when she is ready Margaret placed a hand over her heart I promise doctor I just want her to know the truth Dr Samuel studied her for a moment then nodded as Margaret walked away he sat down heavily

in his chair exhaling deeply the battle was over but the the wounds of the past would take time to heal and now the biggest question remained would Grace ever forgive the mother who abandoned her the afternoon sun hung high in the sky as Margaret stood outside Samuel's home her heart pounding for years she had lived with regret the shame of her past mistake had eaten her alive making every day feel like a heavy burden but now she was here she had begged Doctor Samuel for forgiveness and by some miracle he had given her another chance

but Grace would Grace ever forgive her taking a deep breath Margaret knocked gently on the door a moment later the door opened and there stood Grace Margaret gasped softly taking in the sight of the young woman before her the last time she had seen her grace had been a tiny helpless baby but now she was grown beautiful and strong and she could see Margaret's heart achd at the realization of all she had missed her daughter had seen the world had laughed had lived without her grace frowned who are you Margaret's lips trembled I I am

your mother silence Grace's eyes darkened as the words sank in Margaret swallowed hard her voice breaking I know I don't deserve your forgiveness I know what I did was wrong I left you when you needed me the most and for that I have suffered every single day tears filled her eyes but please my child if there is even a small place in your heart that can find it in you to forgive me I beg you let me say I am sorry Grace stood there her face unreadable her heart felt heavy this was the woman who

had given birth to her the woman who had abandoned her the woman who had left her alone in the darkness and yet as she looked at her she saw something else pain regret the kind of regret that could never be erased Grace took a deep breath her voice was calm but firm I forgive you she said softly Margaret's eyes widened she fell to her knees her sobs shaking her whole body thank you my child thank you but then Grace continued I forgive you but Dr Samuel and Mary will always be my parents they are the

ones who raised me they are the ones who loved me when you didn't Margaret sobbed harder nodding I understand my child I don't want to take you away from them I just wanted to hear you say that one word forgiveness now I can finally Breathe Again Grace's heart achd but she knew she had made the right decision forgiveness was not about forgetting it was about healing Dr Samuel and Mary had given her a home love and a future nothing could change that but forgiving Margaret allowed her to let go of the bitterness that had been

in her heart since she found out the truth as Margaret stood up she wiped her tears and looked at Grace one last time you are a light my daughter a light that I once tried to put out but God saved you Grace smiled faintly yes he did Margaret turn to leave and Grace watched as the woman who had given her life walked away not as an enemy not as a stranger but as a mother who had learned a painful lesson dear viewers what lessons did you take away from this dramatic tale we'd love to to
