MY GRANDDAD ALWAYS FORBADE ME FROM TOUCHING HIS MATTRESS — AFTER HIS DEATH, I FINALLY LOOKED INSIDE.
My grandfather passed away, and all he left me in his will was an old house. Now that he was gone, it was all I had of him. I missed the days when he was here...
This house held so many memories. After my parents died in a car accident when I was just four, Grandpa became my everything — my father, mother, and best friend. He understood me like no one else, and I loved every moment we spent together.
As I wandered through the house, lost in childhood memories, something clicked. "Grandpa's mattress!" I had always wondered why he never let anyone touch it. What had he been hiding?
Curiosity got the better of me, so I lifted the mattress. To my surprise, there was an old envelope tucked underneath. My heart raced as I opened it, revealing a diary, a few photographs, and some old newspaper clippings.
I flipped open the diary, and as I read the first few lines, my heart sank. "Oh my God!"👇
