Since her mother mainly wore worn-out clothing, Marissa felt embarrassed and didn’t want to introduce her to her girlfriends. But she learned a valuable lesson from a compassionate stranger that she will never forget.
When Marissa’s father left, her mother Esme raised her alone, and they never had much money to spend. Esme put in more effort than anyone to support her daughter, but over time, she had to make many sacrifices.
Sadly, Marissa lied to her closest friends about her family in the hopes that they would never find out the truth or get to meet her mother because they were preoccupied with fashion and social standing. Marissa’s mom was an avid thrift store shopper, thus she was the only one who wore beautiful clothes.Esme never indulged in self-gifting. She wore modest clothes, and even though her shoes were terribly worn out, she wouldn’t throw them away. Marissa loved her mother, but she felt self-conscious about her appearance. But their lives would alter one day.
