SakshiLittle Nervous
Despite all their efforts, they could not make Emily open up to them. She did not utter a word while journeying with the couple. Maybe she was still not comfortable. However, the couple was hopeful that she will get mixed up with the family after meeting the kids.
Missing Orphanage
Vern added, “She was very somber, not really emotional but a little tear, so I knew there was something going on.” Something was going on in her little head. The kid had spent several years in this orphanage and leaving it after so many years might have caused her to cry, at least that is what Garrets believed.
Family Completed
The couple was soon going to figure out the astonishing reason behind her uncanny behavior. She met her siblings and as expected immediately struck the chord with them. The couple had got their family completed now. Nope, there was a revelation awaiting them.
Something Was There
Six months had passed by and in this little time, the couple had caught Emily crying silently a number of times. Garrets asked their other kids if Emily had shared anything with them. Strangely, this little girl had kept her secret to herself only. The couple struggled to know her secret until a letter from a stranger found its way to them.
Elizabeth
The letter was sent by a girl named Elizabeth. The name did not ring any bell to them. However, they went on reading the letter as it was addressed to them. Nannette was in tears when she finished reading the letter. It was a heart touching-letter. Not only that but the couple had also learned why Emily sometimes used to behave differently.
Expressing Gratitude
Vern described, “It was an amazing letter.” “The letter was just full of gratitude and love. There was nothing to speak of that was, ‘Why did you take my sister? Why didn’t you talk to me?’ The letter was all about ‘I’m so grateful my little sister has a family, I’m grateful she’s being taken care of. I’ve never met you before, but I want you to know that I love you.’”
