She raised them alone after her husband\u2019s death, working long hours to ensure they had a good life. But at 78, she realized she had become a burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One evening, she overheard Helen and Alex whispering. \u201cShelters are full,\u201d Alex muttered. \u201cPrivate homes are too expensive.\u201d Evelyn\u2019s heart ached. They weren\u2019t asking what she wanted\u2014they were deciding where to place her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next morning, Alex arrived. \u201cIt\u2019s time to pack,\u201d he said quietly. Assuming she was going to a shelter, Evelyn packed her memories into a suitcase. But as the car stopped, her breath caught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They weren\u2019t at a shelter. They were at a cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helen pointed at a gravestone. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell me?\u201d she snapped. Evelyn\u2019s heart sank. The name on the stone was Emily\u2014Helen\u2019s twin sister, who had died at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anger burned in Helen\u2019s eyes. \u201cYou kept this from us? No wonder we don\u2019t trust you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abandoned in a bleak nursing home, Evelyn had lost hope\u2014until her granddaughter, Margaret, arrived. \u201cCome live with me,\u201d she pleaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time in years, Evelyn felt loved.
