Mom Follows Teen Daughter Who Takes All Her Saved Money at Home and Leaves Late at Night — Story of the Day
When a mother notices her teen daughter leaving their house late at night with all of her saved money, she decides to follow her and discovers something astonishing. 13 years later, her daughter receives a letter regarding how that act of hers had changed someone’s life forever.
“Oh, come on, mom! It’s not like you can’t give me spare money for once,” Sherry’s daughter, Maria, snapped at her one evening when she returned from work.
“Honey, please try and understand,” Sherry explained. “We are on a tight budget this month. We can buy the boots for you next month.”

“Well, you deserve it, mom!” Maria snarled. “It’s because of you that dad is no more with us! You couldn’t afford to pay for his treatment, and he died. Do you want me to suffer too? Listen, mom, I am not like dad! You can’t do anything you want!”
“Actually, I shouldn’t be talking to you, mom! You’ll just say things and do nothing! I’m going to my room and let’s not talk for a while. You really irritate me these days!” With that, Maria went to her room and slammed the door behind her.
