A bride’s wedding day is truly an unmatched occasion. Not only for her, but for her parents too. When Sherry Blackledge and her husband found out they weren’t able to have biological children, they knew adoption was in their future. And soon, a precious little girl, Brooke, became part of their family.

Knowing her profound love for Brooke from the start, Sherry placed a note on a piece of her own wedding gown to be opened on her (Brooke’s) wedding day. Well, 20 years later, it was finally Brooke’s wedding day, which meant she had a very unique gift to open. Sherry’s full letter reflects her great love for her then-toddler and her immense thankfulness for having Brooke as a daughter.

This heartfelt video depicts an unbelievable display of love between a mother and her daughter. Tell your mum or dad you love them and appreciate everything they do for you TODAY!
