My name is Patty, and at 90, I can claim a blessed life. After my husband passed, it was just me and my daughter, Angie. For my 90th birthday, Angie promised to visit with my grandchildren. I was excited, but as the day wore on, I heard nothing from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJohn was the closest thing I\u2019d had to a son of my own. He was caring and had a heart of gold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John, Angie\u2019s ex-husband, arrived with flowers and gifts, surprising me. He brought my favorite chocolate and we cooked dinner together. I appreciated his company, especially since Angie never showed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John called Angie and found out she was on vacation with her new boyfriend and the kids. I was hurt that she hadn\u2019t told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVacation? And she didn\u2019t tell anyone? She just up and left? Why would she do that?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John\u2019s visit softened the blow, but my daughter\u2019s actions left a lasting wound. She promised to visit soon, but the damage was done. I still love her, but trusting her is now difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
