З життя
Терміновий дзвінок від доньки: слова, що змусили нас завмерти
Все, що вона мені сказала, було: “Тату, спустіться з мамою швиденько до мене, будь ласка.” І поклала слухавку. У нас із дружиною все похололо всередині після цих слів доньки.
Забрав я дочку зі школи. По дорозі додому вона розповідала мені, яка вона гарна учениця: в школі була слухняна і виконала всі домашні завдання в групі подовженого дня. Я одразу зрозумів, що вона розповідає про свої успіхи не просто так. Як я й припускав, донька зупинилася, повернулася до мене і сказала: “Тату, я сьогодні була слухняною дівчинкою. Чи можна мені піти погуляти з Софійкою? Ми на роликах покатаємося.” Я глянув у ці щирі очі і не зміг відмовити. Адже у неї дитинство — найліпша пора в житті, хай насолоджується, поки може.
Поки моя дочка каталася на роликах зі своєю подругою, ми з дружиною готували вечерю і обговорювали новини, які дізналися протягом дня. Ми так скучили один за одним, що не помітили, як промайнуло вже дві години. Ми б ще довго сиділи за столом, вдаючи, що готуємо, якби не зателефонувала донька. Все, що вона сказала: “Тату, спустіться з мамою швиденько до мене, будь ласка.” І поклала слухавку. У нас з дружиною все похололо всередині від цих слів. Ми одразу все покинули і поспішили на подвір’я.
Вибігаємо і бачимо біля нашої донечки і її подруги двох великих чоловіків. Дорогою до них у мене в голові була лише думка, що обійдуся без слів. Дружина йшла поруч, вся тремтіла від страху за дітей. Вона не розуміла, що їм потрібно від дівчаток.
Підійшли ми до цих чоловіків, а вони дякують нашій дочці за те, що вона така вихована і добросердна дівчинка. Коли ми підійшли ближче, вони почали казати, які ми гарні батьки, що таку чудову доньку виховали. Вона в такому юному віці вже допомагає людям і рятує від біди. Ми з дружиною стояли, не розуміючи, що відбувається, бо збиралися викликати поліцію і розбиратися з лиходіями. А виявилося, що познайомилися з добрими людьми, які дякували нам за виховання доньки.
З’ясувалося, що коли наші дівчатка гуляли, вони побачили двох чоловіків, які виходили з машини, і в одного випав гаманець. Чоловік цього не помітив і пішов далі. А донечка під’їхала, підняла гаманець і швиденько повернула його господареві. Він був нею дуже вдячний, бо в той день отримав зарплату, і гаманець був повен грошей. Він став дякувати моїй доньці та пропонував сто гривень за допомогу. Але вона злякалася і покликала нас, бо ми вчили її не брати нічого від чужих.
Зрештою, чоловік дав нам ті сто гривень як знак вдячності. Ми зважилися віддати їх дочці, щоб витратила на свої забави чи солодощі. Повертаючись додому разом, ми з дружиною відчували гордість, що виховали таку дитину. Всередині я відчував безмежну радість і гордість за нас.

Why Does It Matter Who Looked After Gran? By Law, That Flat Should Be Mine! — My Mum Argues With Me Over My Grandmother’s Home My Own Mother is Threatening to Sue Me — All Because My Gran’s Flat Went Not to Her, or Even to Me, But to My Daughter. Mum Claims It’s Unfair, Insists the Flat Should Be Hers. But Gran Made a Different Choice. Why? Perhaps Because My Husband and I Lived With Her and Cared for Her Those Last Five Years. You Could Easily Call My Mum Selfish — Her Needs Were Always Far More Important Than Anyone Else’s. Mum’s Been Married Three Times, But Only Had Two Daughters: My Younger Sister and Me. We Get On Brilliantly, But Neither of Us Has a Great Relationship With Mum. I Don’t Even Remember My Dad — He Split From Mum When I Was Two. Up Until I Was Six, I Lived With Mum at Gran’s. For Some Reason, I Thought Gran Was Awful — Probably Because Mum Was Always Crying. Only When I Grew Up Did I Understand: Gran Was Good, She Just Wanted to Help Her Daughter Make a Better Life. Later, Mum Married Again and We All Moved In With My Stepfather. That’s When My Sister Was Born. But After Seven Years, Mum Got Divorced Again. This Time, We Didn’t Go Back to Gran’s. Stepfather Went Off to Work and Let Us Stay in His Flat for a Bit. Three Years Later, Mum Married Husband Number Three and We Moved In With Him. He Wasn’t Pleased Mum Had Children, Though He Never Hurt Us — He Just Ignored Us. So Did Mum. She Was Obsessed With Her New Husband, Always Jealous, Always Causing Rows and Breaking Crockery. Once a Month Mum Would Start Packing, But Stepfather Always Talked Her Round. My Sister and I Got Used to It and Stopped Noticing. I Ended Up Looking After My Sister — Mum Didn’t Have the Time. Thank Goodness for Our Grandmothers, Who Helped Us So Much. Eventually, I Left for University, and My Sister Moved In With Gran. Our Dad Always Supported Her; Mum Would Call Us Only at Christmas. I Accepted Mum For Who She Was and Stopped Expecting Her to Care, But My Sister Never Did. She Was Always Hurt, Especially When Mum Skipped Her School Leavers’ Party. We Grew Up. My Sister Got Married and Moved Away. I Was Living With My Long-Term Boyfriend; We Visited Gran Often and Stayed Close, Though I Tried Not to Be a Nuisance. When Gran Fell Ill and Went Into Hospital, I Visited Every Day: Shopping, Cooking, Cleaning, Chatting, Making Sure She Took Her Medicine. Sometimes My Boyfriend Helped Out Too. After Six Months, Gran Suggested We Move In to Save for Our Own Place, So We Did. Six Months Later, I Was Pregnant. We Got Married, Had a Simple Family Do — Mum Didn’t Come, Not Even a Phone Call. When My Daughter Was Two Months Old, Gran Broke Her Leg. Caring for Both Was Hard and I Desperately Needed Mum’s Help, But She Refused, Saying She Wasn’t Well and Would Come Later. She Never Did. Six Months On, Gran Had a Stroke and Was Bedridden. If Not for My Husband, I Don’t Know How I’d Have Coped. Gran Slowly Improved, She Even Got to See Her Great-Granddaughter Take Her First Steps, and Lived Another Two-and-a-Half Years. She Passed Away Peacefully in Her Sleep. My Husband and I Were Devastated By Her Loss. Mum Only Came for the Funeral. A Month Later, She Tried to Evict Me So She Could Have the Flat. Mum Hadn’t Realised Gran Had Left It to My Daughter Right After She Was Born. Naturally Mum Was Furious, Demanding I Give Up the Flat or She’d Sue Me. “Look How Deceitful You Are! You Duped the Old Woman, Took Her Flat, And Now You Live In It Yourself! You Won’t Get Away With This! It Doesn’t Matter Who Looked After Gran — That Flat Should Be Mine!” But Mum Won’t Get That Flat, I Know That for Certain. I’ve Spoken to a Solicitor and a Notary. We’ll Stay in the Home Gran Gave Us, and If Our Second Child Is a Girl, She’ll Be Named After Gran.
