While My Family Fought Over Grandma’s Will, I Was the Only One Who Took Her Beloved Dog and Discovered the Secret She Left Behind — Story of the Day

“We’ll see about that, witch!” my mother spat and left.

I closed the door and sank to the floor, unable to stop crying. Berta climbed into my lap, as if trying to comfort me.

I began to stroke her, and then something on her collar caught my eye. I took Berta’s collar off and turned it over.

An engraved address and the number 153 were on the back. I frowned and put the address into my GPS.

It pointed to the train station, and the number seemed to be a locker. But where would I find the key to that locker?

Then I noticed the tag on Berta’s collar could be opened. I opened it, and a small key fell into my hand.

Without thinking twice, I went straight to the station. I found locker 153 and tried the key. It fit.

When I opened the locker, I found a folder marked “For Meredith”. Inside were a note written in Grandma’s handwriting and some documents. I pulled out the note and began to read.
