I Pretended to Be an Old Woman's Son at the Nursing Home Because Her Real Family Paid Me – After She Passed Away, the Director Said, 'She Left One Last Request for You'

I drove to the nursing home the next morning. Margaret was in the sunroom, knitting something blue and crooked.

"Jeremy," she said, patting the seat beside her. "I wondered when you'd come."

"He's suing me, Margaret. Tim. He says I tricked her."

She set the knitting down.

"In her last week, Rosie told me about you every day. She called you the boy who chose to stay. Those were her words."

"Would you say that in court?" I asked.

"I'll say it anywhere they'll let me."
