Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
"I
never met my real dad but it is okay because you treat me like I am your son,”
a pupil in the USA told his teacher in a note.
A teacher in Atlanta received a letter from one of his pupils that has left just about everyone who reads it in tears.
A child named Markus wrote the letter for a teacher he calls Mr J.
The heartfelt note shows the impact teachers can have on their pupils.
Mr J shared the letter on Twitter on Monday, and it has since gone viral.

Nearly 4,000 people also commented on the original tweet.
Bless this little boy! I love how this teacher reached out and changed this student's life.
We all had a teacher at school that extended themselves and went from teaching to inspiring.
