All eyes In the Room Were On A Little Boy When He Finds A Hidden Note Behind His Christmas Present

Giving It Second Thought

Carter couldn’t sleep that night as he kept on pondering. He later felt that no matter how angry he was with everyone, it was his family, he wanted to be with his cousins. On top of all the reasons, he really didn’t want to spend Christmas in the foster center. So, he decided to go to the Kipharts for Christmas.

Packing And Moving

After telling his aunt that he’ll be there, Carter packed his small bag. He was waiting in the common area for his uncle to come to pick him up. He realized how he always wanted someone to pick him up like this but not for a few days. Carter was always lost in dreams like this, dreams of having a family that seemed near to impossible now.

Dream Come True

Even if it was just for the holidays, Carter’s dream came true. He played games he didn’t get to play at the foster center. He had amazing food and played with their pet dog. It was just the type of Christmas any kid would ever think of. But will this happiness last?

Back To Square One

When he reached his relative’s home, it felt like he belonged there. But the fact that he’ll have to leave after Christmas was always in the back of his mind. He was just a kid with so much going on in his mind. It was stressful as no matter how hard he tried to live in the present, the fears for the future didn’t let him be.

The Bitter Facts

We all have heard of the foster life and what happens after it. According to studies, more than 25% of the foster children never get a settled life and spend most of their days wandering on the streets within a few years of getting out of the foster center. With his growing age, this misfortune was getting closer to Carter.

Being A Part

Carter was trying to blend in the Kipharts family for the short duration he was going to be with them. He helped his aunt in grocery shopping, decorated the Christmas tree with his sisters, listened to his uncle’s favorite Christmas playlist with him, played PlayStation with his brothers, and took the dog out for a walk.
