Lynn, Stuart’s foster mother, died when he was 13. It changed his life forever. Stuart had pushed Jennifer away and wouldn’t accept her love, which made their relationship hard. But on the day of her funeral, Stuart started to lose it.
As Stuart dealt with his sadness, he found it hard to accept the feelings he had hid for so long. He thought about all the times Jennifer had tried to get in touch with him but been met with anger and hostility.
Jen had never given up on Stuart, though. She wrote him a letter right up until the end, telling him something about his past that would change everything he thought he knew.
The message, which was meant for Stuart, was at Jennifer’s grave waiting for him. His world turned upside down as he read the words written in her familiar handwriting. His real mother was Jennifer, the woman he had pushed away for a long time.
Stuart’s mind was spinning as he thought about what had happened. He remembered all the times Jennifer had been there for him and loved him no matter what, even when he was mad or felt rejected. He understood that her love was real and that she had given up everything to make his life better.
Stuart felt a weight lift off his shoulders as he realised the truth. He finally understood how much Jennifer loved him, and he felt terrible that he hadn’t accepted it sooner.
In the days that followed, Stuart went to Jennifer’s grave every day to talk to her and say sorry for not getting her love. After a long time of holding back, he finally felt free to show how he really felt.
Stuart realised that Jennifer’s love had been the only thing that had stayed the same in his life as he thought back on their troubled relationship. Love had been there for him the whole time, waiting for him to understand. It had never given up on him, even when he pushed her away.
Stuart finally understood that Jennifer’s love wasn’t just a feeling; it was a choice. A choice she made every day, even though he was mad and turned her down. And the choice he made changed his life for good.
