The story of Carly Dingles is a powerful reminder of the importance of love and belonging. At just five years old, Carly was abandoned by her mother outside a church, left to wait for a return that never came. Despite years of searching for her mother, Carly’s journey led her to a heartbreaking discovery: her mother had never wanted her. Throughout her childhood in an orphanage, Carly found solace in Peter, a kind boy who made paper planes with heartfelt messages to show her she wasn’t alone. After losing Peter, Carly realized the love she sought was never from the person she had hoped for but from the one who had always been there, even in the most unexpected ways. This story teaches us that the family we need isn’t always the one we are born into, and those who truly love us never really leave us.
