Elderly Woman Celebrates Christmas Alone after Her Children Find Out She Is a Cleaner – Story of the Day

Victoria, at 65, worked as a cleaner at a furniture store after her retirement savings proved insufficient. She hadn’t told her children, Matthew and Marina, about the job, fearing their reaction. Over the years, they became so busy that they rarely contacted her, only calling occasionally for Christmas. But this year, Matthew’s reaction to seeing her working shocked her. He ran out of the store, and soon, both kids stopped answering her calls.

On Christmas morning, she felt forgotten, until a surprise knock at her door. To her astonishment, Matthew, Marina, and her grandchildren barged in, ready to spend Christmas with her. Matthew pulled her into a long hug and apologized, explaining that he was initially ashamed of her job. However, after a conversation with their neighbor, Mrs. Atkinson, he realized it wasn’t her job he was embarrassed by, but himself. He hadn’t repaid the money Victoria had given them when they sold their house, and he felt guilty for not ensuring she was comfortable.

Marina echoed his sentiments, admitting she, too, had been angry with herself for not recognizing Victoria’s struggle sooner. Victoria reassured them it wasn’t necessary to repay her, but they insisted. They spent the best Christmas together, with Victoria’s children paying her back and making sure she was taken care of.

Victoria continued working at the store for a few more years, retiring comfortably at 70, while her children always invited her and kept in touch. It was a holiday to remember.
