I smiled at him. “Now you do. And I hope this is a wake – up call for all of you. Family is more important than money. And I’m not going to be pushed aside or taken for granted anymore.”
From that day on, things started to change. My kids and grandkids actually started making an effort. They visited more often, not just for the money, but because they realized what they’d been missing. And I? Well, I finally felt like I had my family back, in a way. And I knew that no matter what happened, I’d made the right decision. I may be an old lady, but I still had some fight left in me. And I was going to use it to make sure that my family remembered the values I’d tried to teach them all those years ago.
