All by herself
One morning they announced the news. Her daughter, son-in-law, and her grandson all turned up at her house. At first, she thought they were paying her a casual visit, but then they told her the terrible news.
Ruth’s son-in-law got a new job in a city more than 300 kilometers away. So that meant the whole family had to move, including her beloved grandson. She felt so terrible because she would miss her grandson so much. She would miss them all but not getting to see her grandson on a regular basis anymore was the hardest part. Because they saw each other so much it would, again, feel like a big hole in her life. Ruth felt terribly alone. From that moment on she spends the majority of her time all by herself. And even though she tried so hard to remain positive, some days were just lonely. But then one day the doorbell rang and when she opened the door she couldn’t believe what she just saw.
