Chapter 14 - The Apology
The next day, Mom came back to the hospital with a letter.
She handed it to Grandma.
"I wrote this last night," she said. "Please read it."
Grandma opened the letter.
She read it slowly.

"Eleanor, I'm sorry for what I did. I'm sorry for stealing from you. I'm sorry for forging your signature. I'm sorry for taking your walker. I'm sorry for locking you in a room. I'm sorry for everything. I was scared. I was scared of being alone. I was scared of losing you. But that doesn't excuse what I did. I know that now. I'm going to get help. I'm going to change. I hope you can forgive me someday. Love, your daughter, Margaret."

Grandma finished reading.
She folded the letter carefully.
She looked at Mom.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For writing this. For being honest."
"I'm still angry. I'm still hurt. But I appreciate the honesty."
Mom nodded.
"Can we try to rebuild?"
"I don't know. It's going to take time."
"I know. I'll wait."
