Heart Touching Letter About Absence of a Stepmother
My mother died when I was a toddler and my father later remarried. My stepmother was the kindest person you’ll ever meet.
I dedicated this to you, my unknown stepmother. I wish you were here every time I feel sad.
You taught me many things, and even though it’s just been a few years, I will never forget you. Stay in Heaven and watch over me always.
I’ve thought about what to say for a long time, I have taken my time, but still, I am not sure how to put it all in words.
If you are reading this, you must be missing me as much as I miss you. I don’t know where to begin so please understand that I just am lost for words.
I love and miss my stepmother every day. My stepmother was the best person that I had in my life and a very good role model for me.
I will always love you. And it’s not because of who you were to my father when he was alive, but rather because of what you are to my brother and me now that he is gone.
I wish I could take the place of your mother and be a mother to you. I would bring you cookies and milk every night when you went to bed, just like your mother does with the girls.
I would love to tuck you in and sing you your favorite songs. Why can’t there be a better way? I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Dear Mom, you had been my loving mother, but you left me too early. I always feel so sad and lonely without my good mom.
Even now the memories of how kind you were are so fresh in my mind. Your advice is still ringing in my ears.
I wish you were here with me, to wipe my tears away and comb through my hair. Please don’t be mad at me; I’m trying to do my best. Please be patient as we live separate lives.
My life would have been so different if you hadn’t become my stepmother.
I wouldn’t have a father or the best parents in the world. I thank God for you every day and hope that one day I will be able to tell you in person.
You are an amazing person, so kind and caring and I am lucky to be your daughter You’re a second mother. A loving and caring sidekick… Love always.
My mom works so hard to support us that I have never had the chance to tell her I love her.
She doesn’t deserve this life of hardship, her soul is gentle and kind. There is so much I want to say, but words escape me. It kills me to think she may never hear me say that I love her.
Dear Moms. If you didn’t give your child the love, affection, and care that you should’ve, then you are a bad mother.
You did not deserve to be a mother because you are heartless. No one likes you because everyone hates your bad character and personality.
You’re a selfish, lonely, and heartless creature! Goodbye forever in my life. Do not contact me again!!!
I know that you’re probably pretty mad at me right now. I didn’t mean to stand you up the other day, and I’m sorry if I made you feel bad.
I’m sorry I gave you so much trouble as a child. Now that I’m older, I realize how you were only trying to help.
I could sit here and type out a thousand reasons, but it wouldn’t be enough. I just want to say thank you for the little things you did for me growing up.
No matter how busy your day was, or if you were tired, you made time for me. You showed interest in what was important to me and never turned your back on me.
I remember the day we first met. We were in the park and my father asked you, “Why don’t you go and hug her?” I was shy and didn’t want to, but you insisted.
The hug changed my life forever, for the better. I still remember all the talks we had and all the walks we took.
I’d kick rocks with you just like my brother did. I wish so much that life could have been easier and that you hadn’t died because of me.
My stepmother died when I was 14 years old. This was hard for me and was one of the greatest heartbreaks in my life.
I remember going to school the next day after we left the hospital and everyone asking me what happened. I didn’t tell anyone that my stepmother had died until second grade.
I would go home after school and cry because she wasn’t there to wait with smiles.
To my stepmom, I have never had a mother to love me, make me feel special, and show me what family is about. I’ve never seen the true meaning of love until recently.
I have longed for a mother for many years and now that I’ve met you you are so much more than anything I could have dreamed up in my imagination.
I love you so much and can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
It hasn’t been easy not having a mother all these years, but it has made me stronger and I wouldn’t change anything.
I look at you as my father, even though we haven’t spent much time together in the past, I know that you’ll always be with me in spirit.
I love you very much and wish I could see you one last time before departing.
I don’t care if we get married or not but I want you to know that without you and my kids, I would be nothing. I love you so much and I wish that you can feel the same way.
Good luck with everything in your life and have a wonderful day.
I wish I would have been able to give the things that a Mother should to you. Don’t blame yourself for what happened, it’s not your fault.
You did an amazing job raising him and I know how proud he is of you. I love you and will always try my best to make him proud of me.
Until I met you, I was lost. Now, when I am with you each day, I feel like a kid in a candy store.
We have so much fun together and I can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring us. I love you with my whole heart!
When I was 6 years old I received a very important phone call. My father told me that he married a wonderful lady named and that she was going to be my new mother.
Before she could legally adopt me, I had to call her mommy. So I did. She changed my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined.
A stepmother is someone who loves you just the same as a regular mother but in a different way.
It is my very first year at an exciting place called school. I am your stepdaughter and I love you.
Since my mom passed away, it has been very difficult to live in this world without her. Although my father is here, he feels just like a stranger to me.
So when you came into our life I was so happy, you are the best stepmother I could ever ask for.
I love you and miss you so much. There is such a big hole in my life where you used to be. I wish I could have you with me every day. I don’t stop thinking of you.
We are family, we belong together and even if we are apart, our hearts will always be together.
I’m sorry I cannot be your real mother. I wish that every day I had the chance to change the past and be the perfect mom you needed.
In my heart, I know that we have a special relationship. I love you so much and will continue to love you forever.
The holidays will be here soon and I wanted to let you know that I do not have a “stepmom” in the conventional sense.
My earliest memories are of my mother’s extended family: Aunts and Uncles, cousins, and family friends.
They have played such an important role in my life, they’ve filled the parental role and made so many memories with me.
I wanted to thank you for all the love, hugs, and caring you’ve shown throughout the years.
Dear, I am so sorry. I spent the last 7 years of your life refusing to act like an adult and to be there for you.
I was too caught up in my own life and issues to realize what you needed. I’m thankful that my father was there for you, but most importantly I’m sorry.
You don’t deserve the life that you live. Nobody does, but when your parent is dead and gone… it hurts even more. Love, Your stepmother
I have always looked forward to having you in my life, until the day everything changed.
I wish I could talk to you, ask you for advice, hug you, and listen to your wisdom. I wish I could tell you that even without you here physically, your spirit lives inside each of us.
I want to thank you for being the best mother to my father. In a way, he is lucky because you will be with him forever through me and my brother. So thank
I hope you’re doing okay. I wanted to thank you for all the support and encouragement you offered my brother and me.
I appreciated your guidance, but most of all, I remember how much you cared about us. Love,
You’ve been gone for eight months. I feel sort of empty. It’s strange not having you around. We never got to say goodbye.
I know Nana would have wanted me to be strong for my sister, but sometimes she is still crying behind me and when she falls asleep at night, it hurts my heart so much…
Dear Stepmother, Before I had you, I never knew how painful it was to be separated from a mother.
A mother’s love is irreplaceable and I can only hope that someday someone will give me the same love I once had.
Your letters are always so sweet and full of affection; when my biological mom gets old or dies, I know I’ll have you.
My dear daughter, I know that this letter will come as a surprise to you. It is because I am not with you but only in spirit.
The words in this message are the ones of a mother who loves you dearly.
I am very thankful that I have a stepmother who is so special.
I don’t have my biological mother, but your love and care have made me feel that you are the mother I’ve always wanted since I was a little girl.
I need you to know how much I miss you and love you. No matter what anyone says, no one can replace you in my heart.
I have so many memories of our times together, so many wonderful things I can think of when I think of you.
You are a great role model and have done such good things for me throughout my life.
You have done so much for me and brought me up to be the woman that I am today.
Sometimes the heart wants what it wants, but I will always have a place in mine for you.
Maybe once I had an opportunity to take your place, but now that there is a distance between us, I know what I’ve lost.
I wish we could travel back in time and go back to the way things were, but life doesn’t always happen as we plan.
You are my stepmother and I love you. I miss having you here in my home. You helped me a lot when I didn’t have a mommy.
I am looking forward to our future back at the house. My heart is longing as each day passes by even though it doesn’t seem like long ago you were here with me.
I m always thinking about you and wishing we could be together again one day.
I love you so much and I miss you very much. Mommy, I’m making this because people said that I was old enough to do this but it’s hard.
I still can’t believe that you are gone. I think about you every day and sometimes when I wake up in the morning I think that it was all a dream. But it’s not a dream; it’s real and painful.
Hi. I don’t know you other than your name on the card and that you’re my parents’ friend, but I’d like to tell you how awesome it is to have _’s stepmom around.
We don’t need mine here: she doesn’t buy us cool presents or take us out on vacations.
We also really need an older sister cause she could show us how to deal with her and then we wouldn’t bother you as much.
Dear second mom, I miss you. I miss you so much that the pain hurts my heart. I want to see your smiling face again and hear your laugh.
You were a mother to me in every other way but blood-related. I will always love you. Till we meet again…
Dear daughter, I know you are hurting right now. I may not understand, but I want you to know that it is ok to cry.
I love your father so much, and I can’t imagine my life without him either.
Just know that I miss you. very much… and while I may not always tell you, I do appreciate the love you showed me growing up.
The times we did spend together were quality, memorable times… and I treasure them. Love, your daughter
I miss you so much. I will always love you and carry you in my heart. I want to apologize to you that days went by and I couldn’t say good night to you.
Thank you for all the love that you’ve given me. I know it’s not easy for a stepmother (or stepfather) who starts a relationship with children, but it wasn’t easy for me.
You always gave me advice, wisdom, and support – your presence was a great help to me every day.
I’m writing this letter while sitting here thinking about you. It’s times like these I wish you were still around.
I think of you often over the years and wonder how your life is going, how your family is doing, and so much more.
I know we were never good at being a family, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t love you anyway.
You were right when you said it was easier to live without me in your life the last months you were here.
My son, I know that this day will come and pass without me. But you will always have a special place in my heart.
I can’t wait to see what wonderful things your future holds. May God bless you and keep you safe. I love you!
Dear Mom, when I was growing up I remember dreaming about one day falling in love and marrying him.
It never even crossed my mind that I would never find a woman to be my mother.
I had always imagined that she would take care of me, hold me on her lap and tell me stories every night before bed, smell sweet like flowers, and be kind to all my friends.
You are so much more. You make all situations better, cook for our family, spend time with your grandchildren
Dear Mommy, I don’t have a stepmother, but I do know how much she means to you, so please stop asking the kids if they miss their mother and if they miss her.
You know that they do and it hurts them daily to think about living without some of their family and not seeing one of their parents ever again.
This letter is long overdue but well-earned. You are my world and the light of my life.
Even though you may not be physically present, each day you are with me in spirit and thought. Love you always and forever.
Dear son, I have to tell you (although I know you already know it inside) that I love you much more than a mother should.
I feel so sorry for not being around when you were growing up and now that we are together again, all I want is to make up for the time we’ve lost.
You are one of the most brilliant people I know; you have a heart of gold, always kind, tender, and understanding.
During these motherless years, I have tried my best to be the mother that you have always wanted. I know it hasn’t been easy for either of us, but it has all been worth it.
I love you like a mother and friend and I admit that every day it gets harder not to cry when you leave for school in the morning. I can’t wait till you come home!
I’ve been your mother for a long time but it seems you don’t think of me that way. However, I can’t stop thinking of you.
I wonder how you go to school if you ever get any homework – I would so love to help you with math and reading every night.
Dear Ma, I will be your daughter soon, And I want you to know I have been missing you a lot. But now you are coming back so please make it fast!
I am so happy because you are my new mom. You are the best and feel very good. This is my first time to say so, but it’s true.
Never did I imagine how much you would affect my life. When your mother and I got married you came with the package.
I don’t think I realized at that time that your life had just begun and what it would be like to have a stepmother at only three years of age.
Now that we are moving further away from each other, through college and past marriage, I realize what a wonderful stepmother you have been.
My children, I love you more than words can express. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you.
I miss your laughter, the silly things you do, cuddling on the couch watching movies, and how you fill my heart with so much joy.
I know my place in your lives is not easy to understand and there are still many questions you have.
My absence has been hard on all of you, but especially on your father who loves you both more than life itself. He
I’m sorry I haven’t written in a while. It’s been hard since you’ve been gone. I miss you so much. I miss hearing your voice, laughing at your jokes, playing with you…
It almost hurts to write this because my heart breaks at the thought of not having you in my life anymore.
I know it’s been a while since we’ve spoken and things have changed for us but please know that I will always love you and never forget the special times we spent together.
I was your wife. Many years ago I thought that you loved me, but I guess I was wrong. You played with my heart and broke it into millions of pieces.
You never supported me or gave me the love that I deserved. Though the pain has eased, it is still there.
It seems like only yesterday when I came into your life that my father married you. After he passed away life seemed to go on and it wasn’t a big deal until I had to live with you.
