After Old Man’s Death, Granddaughter Who Never Visited Him Inherits Envelope with Several Notes – Story of the Day

Stephen and his granddaughter Olivia were very close when she was young. Olivia loved her grandfather, but as a grown-up, she spent less time with him. After his death, she would come to life-changing realizations when several notes came into her possession.

Stephen and his granddaughter Olivia were best friends when she was a little girl. They often got into trouble with Olivia’s parents for their mischief.

Olivia felt guilty about completely ignoring her grandfather. “Fine, I’ll go visit him next week when I return from a work trip,” she said.

Sadly, Stephen died three days later at 87 years old. Olivia was still on her work trip during his passing. Her boss offered to let her cut her trip short and attend the funeral, but she chose to continue working. “He understood I loved him; I’ll go visit his grave when I get back,” she reasoned.
