The girl looked into the eyes of the man and asked why he did not want her parents to be happy, then he realized that he had no choice.

Absolutely. Parents should be respected at any age. Even if they have already lived a long life and now their health can fail them, this is not a reason to try to make themselves appear smarter or more successful. Online you can often come across stories of adults, where they tell how hard they have to live with elderly parents. I would like to live separately.



Peels Yes, on the one hand, family is not that simple. For example, you got married, children went, and an old, troubled mother-in-law or father-in-law lives behind the wall. From a purely domestic point of view, the situation is not simple. But, on the other hand, a normal son must personally take the initiative and deal with everything. Otherwise, what kind of son is this? Parents should be respected. And it's not a matter of debate.

Parents need to respect Viktor Andreevich lay on a good, comfortable sofa. With one hand he stroked Kefir, and the other reached for the nightstand, for a barely cooled cup of tea. In the background rattling music from the radio. Some modern popular nonsense, but it didn't matter. Galina was supposed to be here any minute. She went to collect her pension, but called and said that it would be soon. All right, she was waiting for a hot soup with crackers. It is amazing how two elderly people can find a common language after just a few days of dating.

About two months ago, Viktor Andreevich could not even think about peace of mind. Every 10-12 hours he received a call from his family. His daughter, her husband, and if they decided to come in person, they also took their child. Even though the granddaughter is still very small, and all in mom. Manipulation is in their blood.



“Grandfather, why don’t you want your mom and dad to live better?” They always quarrel, because our apartment is small, and yours is so big! – the old man, although he was old, was not a fool. It was clear that this daughter put these words into the girl’s head. She's still a kid. But how much can I ask? It's been three months.

The daughter of Viktor Andreevich successfully married. Her husband used to have a great business, and his office was located almost in the city center. But once his partners failed him and he lost all his former reputation. Nowadays, a name in the business world means a lot and business has declined. Slowly, competitors took all the best places, so that the costs began to exceed the income. They say that it hurts to declare bankruptcy for the first time, but in truth, even once is enough.

Now Tamara was forced to huddle with her husband and young daughter in a rented apartment. Talking with the owners, renting, clarifying relations with neighbors - it was a novelty for her, but it did not bring joy at all. And then she remembered her own father. He has a two-bedroom apartment! It's really old. But still, something. One room with her husband, the other daughter. And Dad that Dad... Yes, parents should be respected. But in America, all their parents are in nursing homes, right? The main thing is that he gave the "good". But we'll work on it.



And the hikes, the calls, the requests and the tricks began. Really, Dad. Why do you need this apartment? You live over there with that weird dog, alone. So, you'll always have company, care. We will come often with gifts. Come on, take it!

And at some point Viktor Andreevich could not stand it. With tears in his eyes and apparent irritation, he signed all the proposed papers and even threw away the pen. He only asked that his kefir be placed somewhere. He's not a young dog either, he needs good hands. Tamara promised to settle this issue first, after the Pope will go to a “specialized state organization”. She liked the sound of it. Gordo!

The next week seemed like hell to the old man. He could have guessed anything, but that. Wet beds, mattresses with bedbugs, food that even Kefir would not eat in the hungriest year. It was all there in the state nursing home. Neighbor Viktor Andreyevich, apparently absolutely normal woman, constantly quietly cried before bedtime. He wanted to talk to her in some way, but she only answered “yes” or “no”. That was the end of his attempts.



Despite her promises, neither Tamara nor her husband came. Apparently, they were doing important things, moving. Well, let them get comfortable there. And the real owner of the apartment eat bedbugs. I wonder what Kefir is? Did they find normal owners or just throw them out?

Misha answered that question. Victor Andreevich's neighbor in the stairwell. He came out of nowhere. With a smile and a pot. The pan had fresh buckwheat porridge and some rather fragrant patties. Grandfather at first thought that he had already begun hallucinations, so for a few minutes just stared at his unexpected guest. And then I asked him what Misha was doing here, he was 45. It's too early to leave.

And then Mikhail said that the day before he came to the daughter of Viktor Andreevich, Tamara. With a skinny kefir on a leash. She asked if she wanted a dog because her daughter was allergic to dogs. And Misha is certainly friends with him and will not give offense. And Tamara would come, food would sometimes bring, just take a dog, take pity on the belly. Misha, of course, took Kefira, what else to do in such a situation? He also asked about the location of his neighbor. After a minute, everything became clear to him and he decided to act.



Then things went very quickly and clearly. Michael, although he did not earn much, but communicated with a classmate, a lawyer. Having learned what story Viktor Andreevich got into, he promised to help almost free of charge. The apartment had to be sold, so you can do that. Some of the money went to Tamara. The rest of the money Viktor Andreevich received in his hands. The lawyer did not become greedy, on the contrary, asked his former client to take up his life. And he did.

For the money, a small house outside the city was purchased. Warm, cozy, no frills. Kefir liked it, and that was the key to success. Immediately after that, Viktor Andreyevich took his eternally weeping neighbor from the most terrible place in his life. He felt that the woman would be fine. Gala just needs good company. What's wrong with Kefir? Plus, the three of us are more fun. That's how it happened.



Of course, life has not turned into a paradise and fun. But, nevertheless, when the memories of the nursing home were still fresh, the heart rejoiced at how things had actually turned out. Thank you Misha, if it wasn't for him, who knows what would have happened. From Tamara and her family, no hearing or spirit. She must be busy. Well, let him. Sometimes even your family members can be fools. That happens.
