Patty was celebrating her 90th birthday and was eager to celebrate this milestone with her daughter and grandchildren. However, when they didn’t show up, she ended up celebrating with an unexpected guest bearing sad news.
My name is Patty, and after living for 90 years, I can confidently say that I have had a blessed life. My husband died a few years back, so it’s just me and my daughter, Angie.
I was excited about my 90th birthday. My daughter promised she and my grandchildren would visit and spend the day with me.
My birthday arrived, and I was over the moon. But as the day went on, I began to worry. I called Angie several times, but she didn’t answer.
Then, the doorbell rang. I opened the door to find John, Angie’s ex-husband, with flowers and gifts.
John explained that Angie, her boyfriend, and the kids were on vacation. They hadn’t informed anyone. I was deeply hurt but grateful John was there to comfort me.
