Forgiveness is the most common solution. You can go on with your life if you can forgive someone for something they have done to you. Those who have harmed us or treated us badly will have to live with the consequences of their actions.
A lonely man
Connor Shaw was a 75-year-old man. While Connor was quite wealthy, he did not share his life with anyone special. Not since that fateful day all those years ago. You see, when Connor was 40, he was married. But, his wife had lost her life in a car accident. Unfortunately, Connor blamed himself for what happened and had been unable to move on with his life.
Connor was so upset and depressed about the accident that he even sent his children, Racheal and Mark, to live in a boarding house for the rest of their school careers – they just reminded him too much of Charlie, his wife, and their mother. Connor knew he was to blame for that accident because he insisted on driving after a work function, even though he was clearly exhausted and a little drunk.
Slowly, Connor only cared for his work, which eventually made him millions. But still, Connor was not a happy man. And even though he was so wealthy, he lived a simple life in a modest home. He did in fact own some substantial property, but he never cared to live there.
There are no children to love.
Despite the fact that Connor was the one who sent his children to boarding school, they opted to ignore him once they graduated. Both of his children went to university and never came to see him. When Connor was 55 years old, he had a heart attack and had to spend two weeks in the hospital. He didn’t get a single call from one of his children.
The only thing the two kids cared about was getting money from their father, but he was never given a second thought. Connor had never been more alone in his life, and as he grew older, he yearned for his children and a lady to love and hold.
A Lady Who Is Homeless
Connor had given up hope of ever finding love at the ripe old age of 75. He had no idea how completely wrong he was! On one of his morning walks, Connor stopped at a coffee shop to get a cup of hot coffee. When Connor exited the store, he observed a woman sleeping on the pavement in the corner. She was curled up on a piece of cardboard. A sign read: Homeless and Hungry, and it was propped up next to her. In search of work. Please assist me.
Jacob had never seen any homeless individuals asking for work; most of the time, all they wanted was money and, on rare occasions, food. Jacob decided to approach the woman; when he spoke, he frightened her and she awoke; nonetheless, he convinced her that he wanted to assist her. Kayla was her name. He informed her that he was seeking a housekeeper and invited her to apply for the position.
Kayla was taken aback. Connor recommended they converse and get to know each other, so he went out and bought her a cup of coffee, and they sat at a table inside the coffee shop.
The Regrettable Situation
Connor inquired about Kayla’s situation as a homeless person. She informed him about how her husband had left her with unthinkable bills, her eyes welling up with tears. He’d dumped her in favor of a younger woman. Her inability to conceive children had infuriated her husband even more. Connor was heartbroken, and after a few hours of talking, he offered Kayla a place to stay for the night, which she accepted. She was supposed to start work the next day. Kayla couldn’t believe her good fortune.
Connor had fallen in love with Kayla the instant they met eyes, though he didn’t understand it at the time. They were the same hue as his wife’s eyes, and she had the same ash blonde hair. Kayla gave Connor the feeling that he wasn’t alone any longer. He simply hadn’t noticed it yet.
They took a walk to Connors’ house, where he showed her the guest room. He instructed Kayla to settle in and that she would begin working the following morning at 8 a.m. Kayla thanked Connor several times for his generosity.
A Year Goes By
A year had passed and Kayla never left the house, the guest bedroom had become her own. She loved living with Connor and looking after him, cooking his meals especially. The pair eventually grew closer and one day, Connor asked Kayla to be his wife.
Kayla had no idea how wealthy Connor was. She said yes. The couple got married quite soon after. Just the two of them. Of course, Connors’s children did not attend the small ceremony.
One day, the kids wrote a letter to Kayla. They were horrible to her, calling her a gold digger and saying she only married their father for his money. Kayla did not really understand why they would say that, after all, her husband was a simple man. Nonetheless, she loved Connor and did not allow the children’s harsh words to hurt her. Connor insisted they never speak of his children again, and while she did not understand why, she left it at that.
An Illness
Ten years had passed, and Connor was frail in his old age. Now 85 years old, he had been sadly diagnosed with Cancer. He would not live long. Soon, the day arrived when Connor did not wake up. Kayla was heartbroken, she had lost the only kind person in her life. The man who saved her and helped her. She did not know what she would do without him.
A week passed and Kayla received a call from Connors’s lawyer. They set up a meeting. Kayla expected to hear about some bills that needed paying and thought about how she could sell the house if the bills were large. She met with the lawyer and the words he spoke were the last thing she ever imagined. Connor had left her millions, and, his entire estate. Not only did she have no idea that he had any money, but she was now rich herself.
Connors’s children were also at the lawyer’s office for that talk. They were both extremely angry and upset. They were practically ready to rip Kayla apart, yet she had had no idea of Connors’s wealth.
Connor had also left Kayla a letter, explaining in detail why he did what he did. Her heart burst and she broke down in tears as she read how much he loved her.
Forgiveness
Even though she had no reason to, Kayla chose to gift Connors children each with a home from his estate. It was her way of forgiving them for what they had done to her, and to their father. She also decided to donate money to the homeless. Because Connor had helped her, she decided to help others.
