"She sounds like an idiot!" Jimmy had the wisdom of youth.
"Bitch!" Once again, Karen wasn't one to mince words.
Jack just smiled. The pain of those days was remembered, but no longer felt. "When you were about two and three your mother and I ran into her at the mall. She saw your mother and then she saw the two of you. I said hi, but she never said anything back. She looked sad. Then she just turned and walked away. I think the party lifestyle finally caught up with her."
Jack thought back to that moment. He was never one to hold on to hate and over the years he felt genuinely sorry for Patsy. "Anyway, your mom sent me to get you three. She and your grandmother said that if you aren't at the table in one minute the entire meal will magically turn cold and become inedible."
The table was set, and the food was waiting. As the four walked toward the dining room, Jimmy asked, "Any secrets about meeting mom that you haven't told us?"
Jack just smiled and said, "Well, you know your mother. Nothing is overly simple or overly complicated. She did tell me that I was slow to propose. She said that she understood, and she was patient, but I was not to make a habit of making her wait in the future." Then he leaned in his son's direction and said in a quiet and conspiratorial manner, "So if dinner is cold, blame your grandfather."

I admit that I am a sucker for a happy ending, and I do believe we are all destined to find happiness if we stay the course and are true to ourselves.
V good story, wanted to give 5*s but story wasnt that involved or compelling enuf. the 2nd wife and following life is what most mean want and dream of, those that dont want that are scum, predators or dem politicians. rk
They may be just words but it's all in how you assemble them. Another good tale, another happy ending, 5 stars.

@Anonymous - Yeah, I thought so, too, and the granddaughter has quite the mouth on her. I figure they didn't know the can of worms they were opening and Pops figured this was a life lesson about consequences that they needed to hear. I agree - my grandparents never talked to me about anything remotely like this. Then again, neither did my parents.
Thats a strange conversation between gramps and the grandkids. I guess my family is a LOT different than this one.

@Griscom - The pack and go is an idea I like and I admit I've used it several times. This story was meant to be about the support of family and friends and a conversation between the generations, but ghosting someone because of betrayal is a response that appeals to me, although it is rarely that easy.
You have two versions of the story of packing him up and moving him out in one night, which I assume is an editing oversight, but otherwise a nice story.
