An inconsiderate neighbor left a note on my sick grandpa’s car — I taught her to mind her own business.
It had been a while since my grandpa had left his apartment after falling ill. We hired a nurse to take care of him, but to lift his spirits, I decided to visit him. After a long drive from another town, I finally arrived at his parking lot and saw his car.
I was shocked.
Some entitled neighbor had left a note on his window, and I teared up when I read it. My grandpa had been through so much over the past year. Who could be so cruel as to call him a “dirty pig”?
Tired and heartbroken, I went to security to request the camera footage.
They told me who had done it and mentioned that she had been giving my grandpa a hard time for quite some time. That, I couldn’t forgive. On my way to her apartment, I came up with a plan to teach her a lesson.
All I needed was a roll of duct tape…⬇️
However, the identification of the perpetrator was only the beginning. This entitled neighbor would learn a valuable lesson from what I did next.
My phone rang while I was at work two months ago. It was Mother.
” Meg, it’s Grandpa,” she could barely say. He’s in the clinic. He—” “What?
Hospital?” I cut her off, completely caught unaware. ” What took place?” He had a respiratory failure,” Mother went on in her unsteady voice. ” We must visit him.” I replied, “Oh my God, Mom, is he okay?” “I don’t know, Meg…” “I’ll be there as quickly as I can, Mom,” as I logged out of my work email quickly.
The fact of the matter is that Grandpa Alvin is my pillar of support, my confidant, and my favorite person on earth.
I’d be lying if I said that I loved him more than Mom. Shh! It’s a cover-up!
Additionally, Mom’s phone call had turned my world upside down.
After telling my boss about Grandpa’s condition, I rushed out of my office and could literally feel a knot in my stomach. It’s hard to remember how fast I drove from work to home.
Before we rushed to the hospital, I quickly picked up Mom, though I don’t remember how I got there. From our house to the hospital, the drive took about 45 minutes.
And let me tell you, those were the 45 minutes of my life that were the longest and most painful.
I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as my mother cried the entire time. When we arrived at there, a medical caretaker let us know that Granddad was in the working room.
