They Gave Me a Burial Shroud for My Birthday

On the morning of my sixtieth birthday, my daughter-in-law told me she'd prepared a big gift for me.

"To thank you, Mom, for all the help over the years. Ever since I married into the Lambert family, I've never had a single worry."

Hearing her say that, I felt everything I'd given had been worth it.

Looking at the beautiful gift box, I said what was really in my heart. "Just hearing that from you is enough, dear. This gift looks expensive—take it back, or bring it to your own mother."

Right there in front of everyone, Celeste Fox turned on me.
