Bleak Retirement

My friend, a retired Math teacher has two children. The son is in the US while the daughter in NZ.
I came to know of her about five years ago. When I knew her through the church, she was already living in a very depressive mood. She was moving from place to place due to her instability.

After an accident her children put her into a prestigous nursing home and when she came to know of the fees incurred she forced herself to be dischared. Due to her incapability of living by herself, her children again put her into another cheaper nursing home.

After three weeks there, she went berserk due to the confinement at the home and had to be admitted to a hospital.

I think if she has a gun now she will use on herself.

Road Bully

My neighbour had deliberately closed the road on his land for almost four months and this had greatly affected the livelihood of the surrounding landowners. The farmers and the elders of the village held a meeting with him to open the road but he had refused and cited that he needed to carry out some earthworks on his land.

Due to this the farmers had to use an alternative dangerous road and when I heard that my brother had fallen, I then decided that we should use the power of the Land Office and when he came to know of this, he immediately paved the road with mud that very morning. Due to this current rainy season, I do not know how long the mud road will last!

Meantime, the farmers had decided to make an application to the Government for a Collection Road of Way permanently to prevent any further harrassment from him and his family.
