I thought it would be a wonderful celebration for our entire family. However, my mother decided that my daughter’s birthday was the perfect occasion to make a shocking demand.
Grandparents would give their souls for their grandchildren. It’s no secret. When children in the third generation appear, it’s like we start living anew. But sometimes, the burden becomes too much to bear.
I vividly remember the day my aunt, my mom’s sister, took our ailing grandma into her home. The things she said to us were harsh and unforgettable.
