Christmas is a magical time and is one of the most important days of the year for many families.
But for one man, all he remembers about Christmas Eve is his mother leaving without explanation.
His Mother Left Every Christmas Eve
Christmas is a time of celebration, joy, and quality time with your loved ones. Typical Christmas celebrations include a delicious feast and gift-sharing.
But for one man, Christmas was spent a little bit differently as a child, as he watched his mother, Sue, leave every Christmas Eve for unknown reasons. That is until she passed away.
Christmas Is A Time Of Celebrating With Family
For children, Christmas is a time when they get to see their whole family reunited, who are, in turn, excited to see them growing up.
It’s a time when positive memories are formed in the child’s development and gives the season a sense of importance to look forward to during the year.
John’s Family Had A Different Tradition To Expect
Every family celebrates Christmas differently. Maybe they open presents on Christmas Eve or wait until Christmas day.
But for John Dorroh, his Christmas tradition was seeing his mom leave in a hurry on Christmas eve.
She Would Disappear Every Christmas Eve
For years without fail, John’s mother would leave in a rush on Christmas eve, promising to return in a few hours.
Sue never gave a reason for what she was doing, which was a mystery to the family.
His Mother Returned With No Explanation
John’s family never questioned what his mother was up to, as she would return within a few hours as promised.
But he can’t forget how she would grab her car keys and drive off.
She Wasn’t Buying Gifts For The Family
John and his family never understood what was happening. His mother always made sure to buy everyone’s presents on time.
What was she doing if she wasn’t going out to buy last-minute gifts for the family?
They Accepted Her Disappearance
The family went years without gaining a clear answer. They learned to accept that John’s mother would disappear like clockwork every Christmas eve.
Still, the question of what she was up to would follow John until her passing.
A Mysterious Letter Told The Truth About His Mother
After his mother’s death, John received a mysterious letter from a man who only referred to himself as “Robert.”
The letter revealed what John’s mother was up to on Christmas eve.
The Letter Was Addressed To John Only
The letter was addressed directly to John and not anyone else in his family.
The letter began with, “Dear Johnny, I just wanted you to know how much my family and I appreciate what your mother has done for us for all of these years.”
The Man Knew His Mother
The mysterious Robert revealed that he and John’s mother were close, so much so that he was the one she was visiting every time she would disappear on Christmas eve.
It was a surprising revelation that John could’ve never imagined.
His Mother Was Seeing Another Family For Christmas
Besides the surprise at finding out his mother was spending time with Robert and his family every Christmas, John kept reading the letter for more details.
He had to know why his mother had to see another family during Christmas.
He Was Nervous About What The Letter Would Reveal
With a family mystery that had no answer, John was nervous about what the letter could reveal.
After all, what kind of mother would leave her family with no explanation?
