The Missing Piece
Life is full of tragedy and beauty, often at the same time. Someone posted a heartwarming photo of a new ornament their family bought for Christmas that year. The thing is, it has a very special story behind it. According to our storyteller, they became an orphan earlier that year. While we don’t know the details, we can’t imagine the magnitude of their loss.
Their tragedy had a silver lining, though. One of their teachers stepped up and began the adoption process to bring our storyteller into her family. Because of this amazing woman, our storyteller no longer has to spend Christmas alone. Their teacher and soon-to-be adopted mom bought this puzzle piece ornament to commemorate their new family dynamic. What a sweet and simple gift.
