I (f25) am a orphan, the only real family I have is my grandmother (f70) on my father’s side. Yesterday I cooked Easter dinner for my grandmother and I, we had planned to have friends and family (people we have essentially adopted as our blood) over for dinner but nobody showed up. My bf (m25) and his mom had both either been called into work or held in late so they weren’t able to show up either. I spent 3 hours cooking a dish I’ve never made before and I was really excited to share it with those I love and was really sad when I ended up packing it up for left overs. I brought some to my bf at work for dinner and I brought some to his house (him and his mom rent together) for his mother for dinner when she got off work. I stayed the night there and when I got up at 4am for work I came out of the bedroom to a letter taped to the door from the easter bunny. It stated that it was sorry for missing the holiday and it snuck in to make it up to me but was startled by the dog and mom scared it away with her gun and instead of eggs he left little turds all over the apartment. The eggs left through out the apartment were turd shaped and held little expensive shooters and the letter said there will be a Easter basket waiting for me when I get home from work. I had made peace with what happened and was just happy I got to spend it with my grandmother but I was definitely bummed out about the whole thing and waking up to this made me feel so incredibly loved. I’ve never had someone go out of their way like this to make something up to me and I cried on my way into work this morning. I don’t know, I never had a mom and this is the closest thing I’ve gotten to it besides my grandma. I never thought I would get to have that kinda love and I don’t even know how to handle it. I love my bfs mom and I am so excited to go home and spend time with her later today.

That’s so sweet! She genuinely didn’t want to miss it.
Wow, this turned out much differently than I thought! ❤️ Kinda the reverse of a JNMIL post.
You deserve to feel loved. Your BF’s mom sounds lovely, and I wish you all the very best.
She sounds awesome. You deserve it. Have fun with her. Happy Easter!
I totally get this. My best friend’s parents took me in when I was kicked out at 19 even though they didn’t have a lot of money. I lived with them for almost 5 months while I figured my life out. They treated me as their own child. Dad came into my room Easter morning with a small little Easter cup full of candy I could eat (I’m celiac). It made me feel so loved I started crying. A small cup of candy meant more to me than any Easter basket I had ever gotten before. Still my best Easter gift.
Hang on to her! No matter what happens with bf, keep the mom!😂
I love this for you! This is an amazing way for her to show you that she loves and values you!❤️
