He chose me to be his mom, and together

Mateo Elijah

He chose me to be his mom, and together we went home. For years, I have longed for the opportunity to become a mother, but every attempt has ended in disappointment. I’ve always prayed for a child.

Yesterday, a friend mentioned a special puppy that you don’t select—he chooses you instead. I felt an overwhelming sense of hope, as if this was the answer to my prayers. As soon as I arrived, he ran straight into my arms, as if he had been waiting for me.

Today, I became a mom! I realize he may be a dog, but to me, the lives of animals are just as valuable as ours.”
