Trudy was a five-year-old girl raised by her mother. Her dad passed away when she was just a year old. Their life was a real struggle, but they had each other and nothing could rock their world. But then, at a party during which Trudy was mocked by her classmates for her cheap dress, a limousine appeared and her life changed forever.
Some life stories are so extraordinary they resemble fairy tales. And Trudy’s is definitely such.
Her father was an archaeologist who had lost his job. In order to provide for the family, he started working at the local mine, a job his wife was not happy about.
“It’s way too dangerous, Joe,” she often told him. He, however, assured her he would be just fine, plus, the pay was good and he didn’t work long hours.
Unfortunately, there was an accident in the mine one day, and Joe lost his life. His wife, Madison, was left to take care of their daughter all by herself.
For a long time, she was mad at her late husband. Whenever she thought about him, which was most of her days, she remembered begging him to quit that job, but he never listened.
Eventually, Madison and Trudy moved places and Trudy started attending kindergarten.
One day, a wealthy girl from her class invited her to her birthday party. The invitation said that all the girls should be dressed in dresses bought at a certain store with provided discount.
All Madison had in her wallet were $100 she got at the restaurant the previous week.
The two headed to the store, but this mom’s world crushed when she learned that the cheapest dress there cost at least five times more than she had.
“Trudy, honey, we can’t afford any of these dresses. What do you say we purchase a material and I make you the dress?”
“Of course, mom, let’s do that,” Trudy said.
Madison spent the entire night sewing a dress for her daughter. The final result was awesome. Trudy loved the dress and couldn’t wait to show it off, but sadly, her classmates didn’t agree.
When she arrived at the party, they started laughing at her and mocked her for her cheap dress.
Trudy’s heart was broken. She wasn’t just sad because of the insults by her friends, but also because they mocked the dress her mother spend long hours making.
“Mom, let’s leave. I don’t want to stay here any longer,” she said.
With teary eyes, Trudy left the party, the words about her “cheap dress” echoing in her head.
At the entrance, just as the mother and daughter were about to catch a taxi, a huge white limousine pulled over right in front of them.
A man dressed in a suit, looking gorgeous, got out of the car.
His voice sounded so familiar that Madison turned her head to see who he was. “Joe,” she whispered. It was her husband whom she believed died five years ago.
“How could this be!? You are alive!” she said, still unable to process what she was seeing.
Joe embraced her and Trudy. “Let’s get inside together,” he said, “I need to deliver the gift for the daughter of my associate, and then we can catch up.”
The three got back to the party. This time, everyone wanted to spend time with Trudy because of the wealthy man that accompanied her and her mother. All of a sudden, they didn’t mind her cheap dress.
After the party, Joe explained that at the time of the accident, one of his friends, who died during the accident, wore his jacket, so they believed it was Joe who lost his life.
Joe on the other hand, suffered severe head injuries and lost his memory.
He couldn’t remember much, but was able to start a small business that turned huge. When his memory returned, just a while ago, he went looking for his family at their old house, but they moved and no one knew where.
Luckily, he used his connections, and knew they would be at the party that night.
It took years of suffering, but this lovely family was reunited again. Madison learned that God works in mysterious ways.
