After Years of Silence, a Forgotten Birthday Card Revealed the Truth About My Daughter
A Forgotten Birthday Card Revealed
On the morning of my 47th birthday, I set the table for three, as I always did. One seat remained empty a quiet space held for my daughter, Karen, who hadn’t spoken to me in two years. Every birthday, I laid out her place setting, clinging to a fragile hope that she might return. My husband, Brad, noticed, but said nothing. That evening, as we finished dinner, I closed my eyes and made a simple wish: to see my daughter again.
Later that night, while searching through an old drawer, I stumbled upon something unexpected an unopened birthday card. My breath caught when I recognized Karen’s handwriting. My hands shook as I read the message. Inside were words I’d longed to hear: sorrow, affection, and an address in Canada. She hadn’t cut me out of her life. The letter had simply never reached me.
The next morning, I told Brad I needed to go to her. We paid a visit to my ex-husband, Nigel. His face turned solemn when he saw the card. He admitted, with regret, that he had forgotten to pass it along. Though my heart ached from the lost time, the words Karen had written lit a small fire of hope inside me. She had asked me to visit. That same night, I packed my bag.
When I reached her house, I didn’t even have time to knock. The door opened, and there she stood older, more grown than I remembered, but unmistakably my daughter. She threw her arms around me without a word, and I held her as tightly as I could. In that moment, the weight of years melted away. I hadn’t just reunited with my child I had rediscovered a bond, a love, and a part of myself I thought was lost forever.
