#13: Thanks, Mom
As most of us have experienced during our teenage years, it can be incredibly embarrassing when our parents try to play matchmaker. We often think that they don’t know what we truly want in a partner. However, this Reddit user shared a heartwarming story about how their aunt’s meddling mother turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
According to the post, the user’s Granny played matchmaker to her aunt by writing love letters to a good-looking young man who lived in their neighborhood. The twist was that she signed all the letters with the aunt’s name. When the aunt and the young man eventually found out what had been going on, they were surprised but had already begun to develop feelings for each other. This story is a reminder that sometimes, all we need is someone to lay the groundwork for us, even if it’s a meddling parent or grandparent. It goes to show that love can come from unexpected places and that sometimes, we need a little help to get there.
