Firefighters Care for Old Lady for 27 Years after Her Daughter Kicked Her Out — Story of the Day

Mrs. Martin adored her daughter Daniela and gave her both a father and mother’s love after her husband died in a tragic incident, but Daniela eventually threw the old lady out of her house. However, as fate would have it, the young lady would soon come to regret her choice.

Mrs. Martin’s husband, George, had served in the Colorado fire department for ten years, but she was always against the job because it wasn’t well-paying. “We have a young daughter, George,” she’d snap at her husband. “Do you really think your job will be able to support her?”

“Well, we’ve talked about it a lot of times, Samatha,” George would reply. “You know how much this job means to me. It was my father’s wish that I become a firefighter. After all, I am alive because of one of them.”

Mrs. Martin frowned at her husband’s excuses every time, and she eventually gave up hope that he’d even listen to her. Sometimes, she’d intentionally turn off his phone so that if he received an urgent call, he wouldn’t know about it and get fired from the job and would begin looking for new work.

One day, George learned about it and fought with her before leaving for the fire station. Sadly, that was the day he never returned. Fire engulfed the building his team had been rushed to, and before he could escape, it was too late.

Their daughter Daniela was just 5 years old when this happened. Since then, Mrs. Martin tried her hardest to put herself together to raise her daughter and give her both a mother and father’s love. But as Mrs. Martin aged, the trauma of her last fight with George developed into Alzheimer’s disease, and she began forgetting the most trivial of things.

Daniela, who was studying at Colorado State University, rushed to her mother when she learned of her condition. She took a leave from her college to look after her and was granted permission to attend classes occasionally. But despite her care, nothing changed with time.

Mrs. Martin continued to miss her husband, and over time, her Alzheimer’s progressed into dementia. At one point, the woman went to the market to get some groceries, but she didn’t return until late at night when one of their neighbors noticed her sitting alone on the streets.

Daniela couldn’t leave her mother...
