Foster parent ljoywilliams is sharing the token of gratitude that left her in tears.
“The teen who joined our household in April turned 14 today,” political strategist L. Joy Williams wrote on Twitter. “After we sang happy birthday and she opened gifts she then said she had this gift for me. Excuse me while I go to my room and bawl.”
The eighth grader’s biological mother passed away last year, and shortly after, she came to live with Williams in Brooklyn, New York.. “She’s shy and reserved and her mom was her person — the one she could be 100% herself around.” “I can’t imagine losing my mother at such a pivotal stage in my life,” Williams says. “While I would never seek to replace her mom, her gift recognizing me as a bonus mom to love and nurture her through the remainder of her life means more than I can express in words.”Williams’ post went viral on Twitter, with more than 342,000 views and hundreds of comments.
