Sons Refuse to Visit Their Mom, She Leaves Inheritance to Little Boy Next Door – Story of the Day
|After two sons refused to visit their mother even after repeated requests, she decided to leave her inheritance to the little boy next door instead.
Elsa spent most of her years raising her two sons alone, working very hard to feed them and pay for their education. When she got older and started experiencing health problems, her children stopped visiting her or even checking on her despite all of them living in the same city.
Although Elsa worked several jobs for decades in order to feed her children, she only started to feel the effects when she started getting older. Her mobility was affected by the rigorous work she used to do, and she ended up bound in a wheelchair.

When her two sons, Matt and Gabriel, graduated college, they both got hired by good companies. They never moved away from their town but they decided not to live in the same community as their mom.
Soon, they started to have their own families, then stopped visiting their mother completely. Instead, they hired a nurse for her who would come several times a week to help her with tasks.
Through the years, Elsa only longed to be in the company of her sons and her grandchildren. However, every time she’d call them, it’d be the same conversation:
“When are you coming to visit me, son?” she’d ask.
“Not anytime soon, mom. I’ve got a work trip soon and the kids are busy with school,” they’d reply.
Elsa got so used to the words “not anytime soon” that even before her sons would respond to her question, she already expected the answer. Instead of sulking at home, she would spend the afternoons outside in her yard. She would watch the children play on the street, and exchange stories with her neighbors.
Sometimes, if she felt like it, Elsa would also bake cakes and pies which she would share with them. The children would rush to her yard to get a slice of “Grandma Elsa’s” delicious cakes.
“It’s my lucky day!” the kids would exclaim. They would line up to get a slice, and Elsa was happy to oblige.

“There, there. I baked enough for everybody so there’s no need to rush,” she would say with a smile on her face as she sliced through the cake.
“We’re the luckiest neighbors in the world! Thank...
