When we entered the house, the first thing I noticed was that the living room was almost empty.
Our large sofa, the television, and even the children’s gaming console were gone.
“Daniel, where’s the furniture?” I asked.
Sarah struggled to hold back her tears.
“We sold it, Mary. Everything we could possibly sell.”
Daniel took a deep breath.
“Of the money you took, $18,000 was urgently needed to cover overdue mortgage payments. We had to stay at Sarah’s sister’s house with the children for three days because our electricity had been disconnected over unpaid bills.”
I froze.
While we’d been relaxing beside a swimming pool, our grandchildren had been sleeping in someone else’s home.
