My Grandmother Pretended to Be Deaf to Test Us before Dividing the Inheritance – Everyone Got What They Deserved

“Love is the greatest inheritance,” my late Grandma used to say. It took her pretending to be deaf and a shocking will reading for her greedy children to finally understand what she meant.

Cherish your grandparents while you still can. Hold them tight, whisper “I love you,” and create memories that’ll warm your heart long after they’re gone. Because one day, those memories will be all you have left. I’m Emily, and I’m about to share how my 89-year-old Grandma Rosalind taught me this priceless lesson that changed my life forever…

I was 15 when it happened. While my friends were busy with their summer flings and beach parties, I was content spending time with Grandma Rosalind. Her dimpled smile always made my day brighter.

“Emily, dear,” Grandma once said, her voice soft and loving. “Would you like to help me with the garden later?”

I nodded eagerly, ignoring the eye rolls from my uncle across the room. He never understood why I bothered with the “old lady”.

“You’re wasting your summer, Em,” my Uncle Bill muttered. “Why don’t you come to the beach with us instead?”

I shot him a glare. “Because I actually care about my Grandma, Uncle Bill. You should try it sometime.”

As Grandma and I pruned the roses together, I couldn’t help but notice how her hands shook slightly. She was getting older, and it scared me.

“Grandma,” I gently said. “You know I love you, right?”
