“What do you mean, we’re not the heirs? There’s no other family!” – her daughter cried, waving her arms, until she caught sight of the official document… But this story began long before the solicitor’s papers arrived at Gail’s flat. She lived alone in one of those typical tower blocks. Her husband had long since passed away and her children had moved away. Each had their own life, their own worries; they thought of their mother very rarely. At first Gail was hurt, even cried on quiet evenings looking at old family photographs. But then she simply got used to it. She tried to keep herself busy with housework so she wouldn’t go mad from loneliness. With every year, her health failed her more and more. Old age crept up unnoticed, draining her strength. One day she just couldn’t make it to the shop. Her legs suddenly wouldn’t obey, everything went dark, and she barely managed to grab the doorframe of her own front door. What saved her was her neighbour Hope, who lived on the floor below. She was a little younger and gladly helped: she brought fresh bread, bought her prescription medicines, made hot soup, helped clean the room or wash the curtains.
