Poor Grandma Is Mocked and Neglected by Grandson for ‘Ugly’ Sweater She Knits Him for Christmas — Story of the Day
A grandson mocks and neglects his grandmother for sending him an “ugly” sweater for Christmas. Little does the boy know it’ll end up saving his life one day.
“Mom! Mom!” 11-year-old Mark cried to his mother, Cindy. “It’s the same sweater, mom! I don’t want to wear it!”
