20 Years After My Mom

Ellie, a single mother juggling her young son and her stern grandmother, never imagined that a visit to the laundromat would change everything. Among a pile of donated clothes, she discovered a sweater from her childhood—her name still embroidered on the collar. It was the same sweater she wore the day her mother vanished 20 years ago. Her grandmother had always told her that her mother abandoned her,

but the truth began to unravel when Ellie learned the sweater had been recently donated by someone who claimed the original seamstress was still looking for her missing daughter. Driven by hope and confusion, Ellie confronted her grandmother, only to uncover a painful betrayal:

her grandmother had taken Ellie and disappeared, shutting her mother out of her life completely. When Ellie tried to leave with her son to seek answers, her grandmother threatened to take the boy from her. But Ellie stood her ground and escaped. She followed the trail to a small charity center, where she finally found her mother, Anna—older,

fragile, and still sewing clothes for children. Their emotional reunion brought long-suppressed truths to light. Anna had never stopped searching for Ellie, but she had been cut off at every turn.With tears, forgiveness, and a promise to rebuild, Ellie invited her mother back into her life. This time, she wasn’t chasing a ghost from the past—she was bringing her family home.
