Thanks for sharing this my friend. This is an awesome story, and Glad that you have someone in your life who cares about you this way. It is always good to have an extended family like this. I have a couple who I have known for quite a while, since I was in my 20s that are an extended family. Too young to be my Mom, but they are someone I can count on when I need to talk.

hi dear PointlessQuestions, I am glad to read you have your adopted Mom and its very touching what she said to you this Thanksgiving. I also have the privilege of the friendship to an elderly couple who mean as much to me as if they were my bio parents. See it started when I attended the Baptist Church in my old hometown. This was about 25 years ago and when I got there first time and saw and heard their preacher I thought, Wow if Jesus would have been older than 33 years he would certainly have behaved and talked like this. This Pastor and his dear wife really walked their talk. They saw that I had struggles with my birth family for such simple things like being ME, and choosing the Christian Denomination I wanted to be part of. Secretly I named the Pastor the Daddy Pastor. Then I was off to the Holy Land with a group of people and Daddy Pastor led the group. It was a wonderful time of 2 weeks with them and in the way he treated his grown children I saw what a good father is like and it was heart breaking that one of the grown kids was so snotty with him instead being thankful for his loving concern. My own father never had been considerate cause my parents are divorced so I didnt have a good role model of a father in my life. Daddy Pastors Wife was the one who encouraged me and listened to me and also helped me through the not so good patches of life a lot. When the Pastor retired and later moved into a Senior Citizens Home in another city, I wrote them a long letter thanking them for everything they had done for me and telling them as long as they are still healthy, physically and mentally, that they mean as much as parents. That I honor and love them like parents and thats without any obligations on their part as they have 4 kids, already. A little over one year ago cancer came back to my Heart Mom Anne and when I learned of it, we took a 5 hour drive one way, stayed there 3 hours then headed back home that was the least I could do. I wrote her a card or letter for each day she was on a nasty chemo like medication and prepared myself for the worst to come. She passed away in July this year and I miss her more than I miss my bio mother who passed away in May this year. I was sobbing through all of the memorial service cause I did and still do miss Anne a lot. I am so thankful for the time I had with her. She was a lady of few words but with a golden heart.

Before I went to college,I lived with my parents in our house.At that time,I didn't realize how much my parents had done for me,and I even thought they deserved to do all for me.What was worse,I quarreled with them about disagreements on certain things.Now in the college,far from home,I would often miss my family a lot,and I've finally realized how much my parents have done for me and what an excellent family I have,with my parents both loving me so much.The day before yesterday was Thanksgiving,and I gave each of my parents a phone call to express my appreciation for their love in me.And I would treasure my parents,treasure my family more in the days to come.
