Gemma was 75 when she was living in her quiet home. Her daughter Gianna passed away three years ago. She never spent a day without thinking of her daughter. Her son Sam was living in a different city, where he built his own life. He would rarely visit his mother, but he had his own life.
One day, while she was returning from her usual grocery store journey, she saw a homeless woman with a baby. The woman was young, and sitting on the corner of the street where she was covered in a blanket.
Gemma thought of her daughter Gianna when she looked at the homeless woman. She walked towards her.
“Do you need any help sweety?”
The woman was startled. “I don’t want to be a burden to you ma’am.”
“Oh, come on! You have a baby and you need a place to shelter.”
“Thank you!”
The house was no longer a place of solitude. Julia introduced herself and stated that her son’s name was Adam. Gemma found a job for Julia at the grocery store, and she cared for Adam while Julia was working.
One evening, Julia thanked to Gemma for helping her. She told her that she couldn’t give the future she can now to her son.
As weeks passed, Julia revealed that she had a daughter in a charity hospital, Aurora. She explained that her daughter was not well, and that she doesn’t like to talk about her sick daughter.
One day, Gemma found Julia in her bedroom. She was searching all the valuable items as she was seemingly stealing from Gemma.
As Gemma was shocked, she asked what Julia was doing. Then she saw her tears. Julia revealed that her daughter needed an urgent surgery and that she didn’t know what to do. She had no other choice.
“You should’ve told me. I would’ve help you. I understand the pain you are in right now. I’ve lost my daughter few years ago.”
“I was ashamed. You’ve done so much for me already, and I didn’t want to ask for more.”
They directly went to hospital and waited for the surgery. A week later, Aurora was much better. Gemma was taking care of her adopted grandson while Julia was at the hospital with her daughter.
Two weeks later, Julie brought Aurora back, and Gemma welcomed the new member of her house.
