😦 A neighbor used to leave a vase full of candy in the entrance every day for the children. After her death, we found her notebook, and by reading it, we finally discovered the reason behind her gesture. All the residents were stunned by this revelation.
In our building lived an old woman who, every day, left a vase filled with candy in the entrance for the children.
At first, we thought she was just a lonely person, trying to get attention in this way. I would tell my kids not to take too many, and she would just smile, saying nothing.
Then, last month, she passed away. All the neighbors gathered to help sort through her belongings. That’s when we found her notebook, a small book filled with stories from her life.
One of the stories helped us finally understand why she left the candy in the entrance. This discovery left everyone speechless.
The rest of the story is in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.
In this story, she wrote:
When I was little, one day my mother didn’t wake up.
I remember the fear that overwhelmed me.
She was there, lying still in her bed, and I couldn’t understand what was happening.
I went outside, desperately looking for food.
That’s when I met a soldier.
He looked at me with kind eyes and gave me a small sugar cube, then he left.
I went back home, holding that precious sugar in my hands.
I took a vase, filled it with water, and melted the sugar in it.
Then, I poured this liquid, drop by drop, into my mother’s mouth.
I didn’t know if it would work, but I held on to the hope inside me.
That evening, finally, my mother opened her eyes.
I still remember that immense relief.
I made a promise that day: if we made it through, I would always give candy to children, as a gesture of gratitude for that miracle.
