The Surprise He Never Saw Coming

I always believed that family meant forever. I dedicated my life to raising my grandson, Daniel, as if he were my own. When his parents moved abroad for work, I took him in without hesitation. I was the one who cared for him, nurtured him, and stood by his side through every challenge.

His words struck deep.

I had cared for him, loved him, and supported him. And now, he wanted me to leave my own home.
