The Aftermath
Simon’s mother, taken aback by his materialistic mindset, reminded him that spending time with his grandma was enough. The disagreement escalated, and Simon went into his room, leaving his grandmother upset. She never suspected that his behavior was motivated by her inability to purchase gifts. To make amends, she went to Simon’s room to explain, but he remained disrespectful, calling her the “worst grandmother.”
Years of Separation
Feeling rejected, the grandmother decided to visit less frequently. Eventually, Simon and his parents moved to another country, cutting off contact. The grandmother felt deep loneliness and missed them dearly. Simon never reached out, and she knew nothing about his life.
Reconciliation and Forgiveness
Years passed, and the grandmother lost hope of seeing her family again. One day, there was a knock on her door. Standing before her was Simon, now a grown man. With a soft voice filled with regret, he apologized for his past behavior, admitting he had been foolish and hurtful. Simon embraced his grandmother, seeking forgiveness for the years of separation. He explained that he realized his mistakes at 16 but felt too ashamed to contact her until now.
