I used to volunteer in a terminal care ward. There was an elderly lady that I used to read to every day. After a while, I forgot she was in terminal care and enjoyed her company. Btw, noone ever came to see her. She had 4 children in the area but obviously their lives were too busy to spend time with her.
One day I came in and she had passed away overnight. She left me a note with a ring. It was her wedding ring. She had not been able to wear it near the end because it kept slipping off.
Anyway, the first time I met her daughter, she was screaming at me. I just stared at her in shock, shook my head, handed her the ring, and walked away. Then, I walked all the way home bawling.
That poor, sweet lady had no one visit her in her final days.
That was great of you to do the reading, but I totally wouldn't have given that ring to the daughter, even if it were a worthless ring. I don't believe in rewarding bad behavior, and that daughter was BAD.
