– Honey, I understand everything, your grandmother is sick, left alone, without grandfather. But why should she live with us?! Let her live with your mother, she doesn’t work anyway, she stays at home. And we may have a child, we don’t need another burden here!
– How can you call her that? She’s my grandmother! My dear and beloved. She has always been my friend and support. And my mother can not help her, you know, she is after surgery.
– How weak are all your relatives, why are they all sick? Let’s put grandma in a nursing home? I’ll pay for everything. We’ll find the best one, like in a resort!
– My mother might as well have put me in an orphanage. Think about it, how long does she have left? People with such a weak heart don’t live long. Let her live her last years in a loving family! We will have all our lives to live without her. In the meantime, just be patient. And you will love her, you will see! She is a charming grandmother, with humor!
– Old people stink! I don’t want my clothes to stink of piss!
– Do you realize that one day your children will say the same thing about you?
– I’m not there yet. In the meantime, I want to live a normal life, not with a smelly old lady.
– Okay, that’s enough. You know what, pack your things and go. My grandmother took care of me my whole life. And you’re being rude without even knowing her! You never even went to visit her with me!
– Should I go?! You’re choosing grandma over me?
– I choose family. I choose love and loyalty. And you go with your stinking proposals.
He left the same day.
Laura brought her grandmother to her home and, although she missed her husband, every day she realized that she did the right thing. Grandma was getting worse.
But she tried to be cheerful and constantly thanked her granddaughter for her care. They remembered their childhood, grandfather, walks in their native village …
Grandma passed away in a month. She fell asleep peacefully, kissing Laura before going to bed. She was happy that they managed to spend so much time together before her death.
Laura missed her grandmother very much. She often visited her mother, who had almost recovered from the surgery. She was very grateful that Laura took care of her grandmother until the very end.
Soon Laura got married and it did not bother her at all that her husband lived with his grandmother, old, sick, but very kind and sweet. They became friends and sometimes it seemed to her that it was her grandmother looking at her with those wise old eyes…
Do you think Laura made the right choice?
