“My grandfather allows me and my aunts to borrow things from her closet, but he’s very particular about the state of the room being preserved.”
“For example, we aren’t allowed to sit at her vanity, which still has all of her old perfume bottles and photographs on it. We always ask before we go in, and we let him know what we’re taking before we leave.”
Several days before her dad and Abby were going to head home, she was upstairs in her grandpa’s house, and she spotted her grandma’s dressing room door ajar.
She entered her grandma’s dressing room, only to find that Abby was rifling through her grandma’s things.
“When she saw me, she froze, and I noticed she was wearing one of my grandmother’s watches,” she continued.
“Abby has been told not to go in the room, and to my knowledge, up until that point, she never had. I asked what she was doing, and she stuttered that she was ‘just looking,’ which obviously she wasn’t since she was also wearing. We were standing there in silence, both unsure of what to do when my grandfather walked in and went ballistic.”
Her grandpa realized that Abby had moved some of her grandma’s things and that Abby was also wearing her grandma’s watch, which infuriated him further.
Her grandpa made Abby pack her stuff and he kicked her out, but not before saying she was never invited back to his house ever again.
Her dad had been at lunch, so he came home to find them all screaming, which her dad added to, but then her dad and Abby left to stay at a hotel.
The following day, her dad and Abby flew home.
“My dad is now angry with me, saying I hung Abby out to dry and that I should have lied and said I brought her in there with me so that she wouldn’t get in trouble and that my grandfather wouldn’t have kicked me out,” she added.
