My 9-Year-Old Grandson Knitted 100 Easter Bunnies for Sick Kids from His Late Mom’s Sweaters – When My New DIL Threw Them Away Calling Them ‘Trash,’ My Son Taught Her a Lesson – Page 3

Everything fell apart.„

My daughter-in-law’s (DIL) tone wasn’t curious. It was sharp.

“Liam made them for the kids at the hospital,” I said.

Claire walked over, picked one up, and turned it in her hand.

Then she let out a short laugh.

“This? This is trash.”„

My stomach dropped.

Before I could say a word or stop her, she grabbed the nearest box and walked straight out the front door.

“Claire,” I started.

Too late.

My daughter-in-law’s tone wasn’t curious.„

She dumped the entire box into the dumpster outside!

Then she went back for the next one. And the next.

I stood frozen, and Liam didn’t move. He just stood there, his hands hanging at his sides, his whole body trembling.

No sound at first.

Then his face crumpled, and he started crying, but it was quiet.

That made it worse.

I reached for my grandson and held him in my arms, not sure what else I could do.

I stood frozen, and Liam didn’t move.„

But then Daniel surprisingly came home early that day.

When he walked through the door, Liam ran to him, sobbing, trying to explain what had happened.

My son listened but didn’t interrupt or react. He just stood there, holding his son while Liam cried.

I watched him closely, waiting for him to reprimand her, because I’d seen this before.

Daniel always chose peace by defending her.

But then he broke from his silence and stillness, looking up.
