When my brother Paul kicked Grandma Eleanor out for not contributing financially, I took her in, driven by love and loyalty. As she rebuilt her life and found unexpected success, Paul’s regret surfaced, but I wondered if it would be enough to mend our broken bonds.
“Rachel, I can’t keep doing this,” Paul said, slamming his cup down on the table. “She’s costing too much.”
“Paul, she’s our grandmother. She raised us, remember?” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. I could see the tension in his jaw, the frustration in his eyes.
“That was then. Things are different now,” he said, crossing his arms. “She doesn’t bring anything to the table anymore. She just sits there, painting and wasting time.”
“Those paintings mean something to her,” I said. “And they could mean something to us if we let them.”
Barbra Streisand on Possibly Leaving the United States
Renowned singer and actor Barbra Streisand recently voiced her displeasure with the current government and her worries about a particular candidate’s chances of winning the president.
Having previously campaigned for Hillary Clinton, Streisand stated that she would leave the country if she were to win the presidency in an interview with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show.”
In response to a question about potential relocation, Streisand teasingly suggested England. She has talked about moving before. This is not the first time. She had also suggested Canada in 2016 as a possible destination in the event that the same candidate was elected president.
Recall that in 2016, Barbra Streisand made a vow to leave the nation if the candidate won, along with other famous people including Amy Schumer, Bryan Cranston, and Cher. But in the end, they decided to remain in the United States, regardless of the outcome of the election.
Even while talks and debates are frequently sparked by the voices of celebrities, it’s crucial to keep in mind that individual decisions about where to live are flexible and subject to change.
