My children have made me cry.

Happy tears, mind you.

Their dad left us in 2020 after years of cheating in quite a spectacular way. I've nursed them through that, then his ongoing selfishness. I've remained their consistent and care. Both have gone to some dark places as they processed his behaviour.

They're now adults(21/19)

For the first time in years, my stocking is full up this morning.

They've thought about this, planned it and executed it.

What an absolutely wonderful way for them to show me they love me.

Thank you Father Christmas. Best present ever.

This is exactly my thoughts - you've raised them with kindness and empathy and this is the outworking of that.

What lovely children you've raised. No doubt, testament to you.

Pats on the back all round.

Enjoy your special day with your wonderful family, sounds like you deserve it!
