Im moving to N.Y
Enough was enough. After four years of devoting herself to Ward, Leah had given up. "I'm moving to New York," she said. He couldn't believe it. He begged her to give him one more chance. She said she had already given him "one more chance" too many times. "I asked you to marry me, but you said you weren't ready to get married. You're 50 years oldwhen will you be ready!" I asked you to nd us an apartment, so that we could live together; you didn't. As a nervous realtor, I asked you to stay with me when I had to sit in open houses by myself on weekends. You didn't. I asked you to help my son nd a scholarship or grant so that he could attend a good college. You didn't. Shall I go on?" He said he got the picture. He apologized. "My priorities weren't right; now I realize that you are my only priority." She said his apology was too little, too late. She had already bought an airline ticket to New York City; her ight was Monday evening. His jaw dropped. "You're not serious! What are you going to do in New York?" he asked. "You don't know anyone there. You've never even been there. You can't just y into New York all alone and start wandering around. It's a dangerous place. And the places that aren't dangerous are expensive. You don't have any money!" She said she had enough money to stay in a hotel until she found an apartment and a job. She had always wanted to live in a big, exciting city like New York. "That's where I can start my own business," she said, "and maybe nd a man I can depend on!"
An Old Clock
It was an old clock, but it still told the correct time. The face had a faded picture of Andys parents taken when they were newlyweds. Aside from some photos, the clock was the only memento Andy had of his mom and dad. His father died of cancer in 1964. Then his mom moved to a private nursing home. She had many friends there. The nursing home, however, went bankrupt. They moved her into a state nursing home. She hated it there. She asked Andy to help her move into a private nursing home again. She had spent most of her husbands savings on living expenses at the first nursing home. Andy said he would try. But Andy had no savings. He was a sergeant in the Army, and all his money went to his wife and three kids. He called his older brother Frank, who was single and had a great job. Frank was an avid deep-sea fisherman and was interested in buying a large boat for weekend use.Frank, I dont have the money now, but you do, Andy pleaded. Just pay for Mom and Ill owe you for half of the nursing home costs. Youll owe me? You dont have two nickels to rub together, and probably never will. Ill get stuck for the whole bill. What about my boat? What boat? Never mind. Let me think about it, and I'll get back to you. Frank never did send his mom the money to move into a private nursing home. Alone and unhappy, she died in the state nursing home only a year later. Andy never forgave his brother. Many years went by. Franks health declined. He called up Andy one day. Andy, I feel really bad about not helping out Mom. I was too interested in getting that boat. The older Ive gotten, the more guilt I feel. My days are numbered, Andy. I was wondering if you would send me that clock, just for a little while. I want to beg Mom to forgive me. Andy was very reluctant to part with his clock, but he did feel a little sorry for Frank. everything else. You didnt really want that old thing, did you, Uncle Andy? Uncle Andy? Hello? Well, that was rude, she thought. Frank died ten months later. One of Franks nieces, Flo, was the executor of his estate. Flo had hired a lawyer to help her Uncle Frank rewrite his will in his dying days. Strangely enough, Flo got everything. She made sure Uncle Frank was buried a day after his death. No announcement was made about his funeral, which Flo kept privateat the 20-minute service, Flo was the only mourner. Flo sold Uncle Franks house, car, and boat within the week. Everything of lesser value went to a charity. His cash and stocks, of course, were already safely in her name. When Andy discovered that his brother had died, he called Flo to ask about his clock. Oh, she said, that went to charity witheverything else. You didnt really want that old thing, did you, Uncle Andy? Uncle Andy? Hello? Well, that was rude, she thought.
