Letter Continues
The letter further read, “Every year on Christmas Eve day your mom comes to my house dressed like Mrs. Claus and gives a Christmas we can’t afford to give them.”The secret that she had guarded for most of her life was now as clear as a crystal. He couldn’t control himself and tears started to roll down his cheeks. But there was more to this revelation.
An Angel
Robert’s letter further stated, “She has given them shoes, shirts, jeans, toys, and candy. I know your heart is heavy and that you are missing Miss Sue. We do, too.” He continued, “We loved her and just wanted you to know what she has done for us.” And now the whole truth lay bare in front of his eyes and he was so overwhelmed that no words came out of his mouth.
Mrs. Claus
From the letter, he came to know that every Christmas his mother would disguise herself as Mrs. Claus and used to bring a smile on the kids’ faces. Now the pieces of the puzzle seemed to fit correctly. When he read the letter, it seemed like his lips were sewn together for a minute and he wasn’t able to utter a word. She had always been his inspiration but now he respected her even more than before.
Kindest Person
He knew his mother was the kindest woman anybody could ever meet but what she did for her co-workers’ kids was far more than kindness. There might be some people who would show kindness to the needy ones but he couldn’t think of anyone who could go this far as to bring a smile on the kids’ faces and restore their faith in the better days. She used to save her pocket money to buy gifts for his children, John was now proud of his mother.
Gratitude
After reading the letter, he went to his dad to tell him the truth that was buried for so long. Even his father was spellbound by his wife’s act and he cried his eyes out on hearing the same. At this moment, he just wanted to hug his wife and tell her that he was the luckiest man on the earth. He always used to adore her but that day he was proud of her just like his son.
Reply
After the surprising revelation, the old man asked John to write a letter as a reply and thank him for letting them know about the woman’s good deeds. John too was thinking about the same, so he didn’t waste any more minutes and sat to write a letter to the man.
