Linda never expected this response. She underestimated the strength of family ties and the power of community support. But most importantly, she underestimated Granddad, and his quiet resilience that had been the cornerstone of our family.

In the end, Granddad didn’t just get a home; he got a renewed sense of belonging and a family that stood firmly by his side. As for Linda, she learned the hard way that cruelty has consequences, and that some lines, once crossed, can never be uncrossed.
