Nana’s Ark
A bit of a weird one, this was more sad than anything. I stayed over at my elementary best friends almost every week. Their grandmother lived with them and everyone treated her like a burden.
They told me she was crazy and mean but she was always very kind to me and because I was raised to be nice to my elders, I was kind in return. One day, when my friend had to go talk to her mom about something the grandma asked me into her room.
I had never been in there and it was decorated completely differently, I could tell she had moved an entire house worth of stuff into one bedroom. I can’t remember the whole conversation but basically she said I was kind and she really loved talking to me every week, and that her family didn’t really let her talk.
She gave me a little metal Noah’s ark bracelet but asked me to hide it from the family. I was scared to wear the bracelet because I didn’t want my friend to get mad and every time I looked at it, it made me so sad for Nana. Story credit: Reddit / TheBerenstoinBears
