Lola Simpson, an elderly woman in a nursing home, waited years for her daughter Natalie and son – in – law Roger to visit. But they never did. Since turning 80, her health had been deteriorating, and with no one to care for her, she ended up at Big Hearts Nursing Home.
Natalie not only ignored Lola but kicked her out when her health declined. She moved in with Roger, promising to visit, yet that never happened.
One day, while looking at an old photo album of Natalie, Lola broke down in tears. She felt utterly abandoned.
That’s when Mary, a young nurse, noticed Lola crying. Having heard Lola’s story from others, Mary comforted her, saying, “Mrs. Simpson, patience will bring you the love you deserve. Don’t lose hope.”
These words made Lola smile. Little did Mary know, they’d come true.
That night, Mary couldn’t stop thinking about Lola. After discussing with her husband Josh, they decided to take Lola in. Josh was hesitant at first; they had three kids and tight finances. But hearing Lola’s story, he couldn’t stand the idea of her spending her last years alone.
So, Lola moved in with Mary and Josh. For the first time in ages, she felt truly loved. Mary’s family treated her like one of their own, and Lola’s happiness was plain to see.
Then, a twist: Lola got a letter from her stepbrother Morgan. He’d promised their late mother to look after Lola. Now bedridden and nearing the end, he left Lola his $2.3 – million fortune.
