Sorry Susan, but Thanksgiving is going to remain at least one chair light this year.
TLC’s “Long Lost Family” located the daughter Susan gave up for adoption 32 years ago, but the young woman turned down an opportunity to meet her birth mom. It wasn’t done with any animosity, however, and the Sunday TV moment came with a beautiful, heart-wrenching text message explanation.
Watch TheWrap‘s exclusive clip of the tough moment above.
Here’s how some of the text message reads:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing gift of life. I never held any animosity towards you.
I honestly can’t thank you enough. I have 2 amazing parents who have given me the world, who have been incredibly supportive, and love me unconditionally.
I’m sorry but even though I am so thankful for what you have given me, I have honestly never had the desire to know anything else.
Thank you for being an amazing human being and doing what you did for me. I know I would never be able to thank you again.
Oh, by the way, Susan was also adopted — and “Long Lost Family” found her mom, too.
Tune in to TLC Sunday at 9/8c to see if that reunion is going to happen. Dear God, please let something nice happen for Susan.
