Sweetest Story...

One of the sweetest things I've ever read is from Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul. My dear friend Shaunna showed me the story today at lunch and I just about cried right there over my turkey sandwich. What a sweet story that can be appreciated by anyone who has adopted or has been adopted. Here's the story...

______________

A young woman named Mary gave birth to her first child, and because her husband was on military duty, she spent a couple of weeks after the birth at the home of her parents.

One day Mary mentioned to her mother that she was surprised the baby’s hair was reddish, when both she and her husband were blonde.

“Well, Mary,” said her mother, “you must remember, your daddy’s hair is red.”

“But Mamma,” said Mary, “that doesn’t make any difference because I’m adopted.”

With a little smile, Mamma said the loveliest words that her daughter had ever heard: “I always forget.”
