A woman raised her stepson for 15 years as a widow, and when her stepson married she bought him a house, and after the bride spoke she was stunned

Two marriages, and both husbands left me. Facing my family's persuasion, I still chose to raise my stepson alone, and my stepson was filial, never leaving me after he married, and at the wedding my daughter-in-law's words made me cry.

My ex-husband and I were married for 5 years and never had children, and after going to the hospital for tests, I found out I had infertility and would never be able to have children in this lifetime. After my ex-husband found out, under my former mother-in-law's persuasion, he ultimately chose to divorce me. I was grief-stricken, and when I was at my most desperate, a man walked into my world. He treated me very well and was very considerate of me. He knew I could not have children, and even though I could not bear a child for him, he still said he wanted to take care of me for a lifetime. Like me, he had also been divorced once. He had a 5-year-old child, and he did not want the child to be without a mother. So I agreed to his request, and the two of us married. After marriage I treated my stepson like my own, giving him all my motherly love and letting him feel the warmth of a complete family.

I thought the pain was all over and happiness should be coming. But then the bad news came: my husband was killed by a car on his way home at night. I was grief-stricken and wanted to go to the other world to accompany him. But thinking of his child, I bravely pulled through. My family advised me that I could abandon his child, that I was still young and could find someone else to continue living with. Many people tried to matchmake for me, and I refused them all. I could not abandon this child; the child had just lost his father and could not be without a mother too. Raising a child alone was very hard, and boys are more rebellious during puberty, and that was how I dragged him up all the way to university.

Fortunately my stepson was very driven, and 4 years later he graduated from university. He found a respectable job and was preparing to marry his university partner. I used all my savings to buy him a house, and I felt very comforted inside. At the wedding, watching the two newlyweds bow to each other, I thought I had also fulfilled his late father's wish. I had been widowed for 15 years raising him, and I felt very comforted, but then I thought that the child was going to have his own family, and that the rest of my life might be spent lonely and miserable, and my heart ached. Who knew that my daughter-in-law would say something at the wedding, and after hearing it I was stunned. Unexpectedly she took the microphone and said to everyone: "The person I am most grateful to is my mother-in-law. She raised my husband single-handedly and taught him many principles of how to conduct himself. You accompanied my husband as he grew up, and the two of us will accompany you as you grow old. On the property deed of this new house, the name written is my mother-in-law's. In addition, after the wedding, I want to live together with my mother-in-law. Although you do not have a daughter, from this moment on, you are my own mother."

After hearing this, I could no longer control my emotions, and a stream of hot tears flowed from the corners of my eyes. People say that once a man takes a wife he forgets his mother, especially when she is not even his biological mother. But I was so lucky to have such a sensible son, who saw all the suffering I endured, and seeing them do this, even if I suffered more it would be worth it. Don't you all agree?
