Your place is in the trash! my daughter said as she kicked me out of the house, so i replied...

Your place is in the trash. That was the message my daughter left for me. I stood there, seventy years old, with the freezing Seattle rain soaking through my coat, staring at those six words scrawled in black marker on a neon yellow sticky note. The note was plastered onto my vintage leather suitcase, which was currently sitting in a mud puddle in the middle of the driveway. My daughter, Madison, thought she had thrown me away like yesterday's garbage. She thought she had stripped me of my dignity, my home, and my legacy. She thought I was just a useless, senile old man who would crawl away and die in the dark. She was wrong. I reached into my pocket, my fingers numb from the cold, and pulled out a permanent marker. I flipped that yellow note over and wrote just two words on the back. Then, I stuck it right onto the driver's side window of her brand new SUV. I didn't look back as I walked away. Two hours later, my phone rang. Then it rang again. And again. Thirty missed calls. She had finally read the note. She had finally realized that the war she started was one she could never win. But before I tell you what those two words were, and how I brought my ungrateful family to their knees, I need you to understand how I ended up standing in the rain, locked out of the home I built with my own hands.
