Sometimes I stopped talking to an old, pleasant, interesting woman. So at the beginning of the month we have a conversation when I learned that Maria Petrovna was celebrating the anniversary on the next weekend. Of course, I did not receive any invitations for the holiday, because people at this age usually do not suit themselves celebrations, but even then I realized that I would come with a cake, I congratulate my grandmother. Grandmother lived alone, the man is gone, and the children went around the cities.

I decided not to come too early so that the grandmother could celebrate with her children, but they were so rarely seen – as a grandmother told me. Therefore, when I came home to my grandmother, my surprise had no boundaries. The house was neatly cleaned, the smell of fresh dishes came and the grandmother sat quietly on a chair and watched TV. ” Probably, we were already going, ”I thought, not believing, because I would notice the cars.

When my grandmother noticed me, she was lit in a smile, it was noticeable as she was glad that someone came to greet her, she could see light tears in her eyes; I was already sure that I was the first to come to her today. I was so sorry for the old woman that I decided to stay, on the table in her house was noticeable that she was waiting for much more guests. We sat, my grandmother treated me, and later I learned that none of the children and my grandchildren even called to greet her.

I did not even understand what to say, I was so sorry for her, and it was noticeable that she barely held back tears. I, as I could, tried to reassure the old woman, but it was noticeable that her soul was hurting. I couldn’t sleep for a long time that night. I could not understand why it was possible on the day off so much to be busy so that you did not even congratulate your mother and grandmother on the anniversary. Do not forget about your parents, call more often, visit you, they always expect you!
