Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a wonderful story that would warm the heart of the most unsympathetic reader. Surely you haven't had time to write all these lovely stories in the last few weeks. If you have, you do an amazing job of striking the right note without months of rewrites as I do.

Every story I write comes from that day or maybe the day before...What rolls out of my head is usually what you get.... including the mistakes. LOL. I'm blessed and very thankful.

That's a sweet story. I know orphans are one of your regular themes in your stories and books! And it sounds like two people who need one another just found each other. That Mrs. Hendricks sure sounds like villain and should not be running an orphanage. She sounds more like a slave trader!

I hope that each of my stories touches someone and reminds them about how special love is...regardless of a person or a pet. If I can move you and touch your heart...I am blessed.

Comment from Wendy G
Beautiful story, and a very moving one. The child had been rejected time and again, not even considered worthy of love by the director of the orphanage. He will flourish with Mary Ann, and they will both know happiness and fulfilment.

Comment from LJbutterfly
Two lonely people who longed for attention and love, found each other. Leland, with low self esteem, never expected anyone to care about him or adopt him. He sat in a playroom alone, swinging his legs contentedly, until Mary Ann arrived. This is another happy ending...my favorite.

Comment from June Sargent
What an inspirational story that highlights what we need to see more of in the world today - compassion. There is more happiness in giving than receiving. They gave to each other what each needed - and that bond of love and trust will only get stronger . Beautiful story!

It would be an interesting story to continue showing how their lives together worked out and great things happened to them or that they helped each other get through the tough times.

I broke my own rule. I gave you 6 stars again. I have a rule I only give some one six stars once a week. This one made me cry for happy. I rarely cry. I used them up years ago. you found them. Thank you so much, Karen

Harrumph! I'm surprised Mrs. Hendricks answered the door...she should have been busy counting the lumps of coal in her stocking or taking a ride around the town square on her broom--the witch!
Okay--so I have no Christmas spirit for her, but Leland and Mary Ann? Now there's a match made in heaven!
I smiled as he broke his cookie in half and shared with his soon to be mom.
Let's all have more of this kind of behavior in 2025!
A warm and cozy story that gave me the "feel goods"

Leland had a heart of gold buried deep inside him and he deserved to find a woman like Mary to love him. Thanks for the review.
