Woman Learns She’s Going To Be a Granny Just an Hour after Son’s Death – Story of the Day

When Emilia’s son, Rocco, finally got married, she started hinting at wanting grandchildren. However, she never expected to get her to wish after something terrible had happened.

“You’ll have to get working on the grandbabies soon, right?” Emilia laughed as she patted her son’s cheek. Rocco rolled his eyes, but his new wife, Polly, grinned and nodded at her mother-in-law.

“It’s a little soon to be talking about that, Mom. We just got married,” Rocco said, using his hands to point around them. They were literally at Rocco and Polly’s wedding.

However, Polly’s parents interjected. “We want grandchildren, too! So, get started. I can’t wait to teach my grandson all about football!” Polly’s dad said, and Emilia joined him in wishing for tons of boys and girls to run around at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and every other holiday.

“It’s ok. I know the economy is not what it used to be, but you figure things out once kids come into the picture. And I’m here to help whenever with babysitting and stuff. I mean after work, of course, but I’ll be here for you guys!” the older woman insisted, and they continued talking about children.

Rocco didn’t join those conversations much, as he was still reluctant to start trying, but Emilia was confident that her son and his wife would soon get pregnant.

She never expected her dream and her entire world to be gone in a second. It was a rainy night in New Jersey, and her son’s car swerved on his way home, hitting a tree straight on. Luckily, other drivers...
