When I arrived, my 86-year-old granddad was on the porch with packed bags and his injured puppy, Penny. After Grandma passed, Dad and Linda moved in, and Linda slowly erased every trace of her. Granddad stayed quiet, even when Linda demanded he give up Penny or leave.

Penny had become his lifeline—a small rescue that brought him joy and purpose again. So when Linda gave the ultimatum, he chose Penny. I took him to a hotel, made him comfortable, and promised I’d fix everything.

That night, I gathered legal proof the house was his and filmed Linda admitting she wanted him gone for the property. I confronted her with the footage, made it clear she had no claim—and she left. Dad returned, saw the video, and divorced her.

Now Granddad is back home with Penny, peaceful and happy. The house feels like his again. Linda tried to push him out, but love and truth won. We fought for him—and we’re not done.
