Old Lady Disinherits Grandson, Leaves Him Only a Bible & Note Saying, ‘Open It When It’s Hard’ – Story of the Day
Mike’s grandmother died after a big fight between them, and she left him only a Bible with a note. He threw the book inside his closet and never looked back. Years later, he was desperate to help his mother and found the book, only to discover something shocking was inside.
