I Was the Only One Who Went to My Grandma’s Birthday Brunch — After Seeing Her Tears, I Taught My Family a Lesson
When my grandmother invited us to her birthday, I didn’t expect my family to do what they did! Gran-Gran, who practically raised me and my siblings, had planned a brunch for her 83rd birthday despite her ailing health. She even baked her own bread and pastries. I arrived 10 minutes late to find her tearfully admitting, “No one bothered showing up.” My heart broke, and my blood boiled.
I devised a plan. I called my mom, brother, and other relatives, claiming Gran-Gran had fallen and was in the hospital, urging them to send money for imaginary hospital bills. They all felt guilty and agreed.
The next morning, I surprised Gran-Gran with a trip to her dream destination. We spent a week at a beach resort, capturing every joyful moment. I posted our vacation photos on social media, tagging our family. They were furious, but I reminded them of their broken promises.
When we returned, Gran-Gran was glowing. “Thank you for this, darling. It’s been the best week of my life,” she said. From then on, my family never missed another event. Seeing Gran-Gran’s happy face made it all worth it.
