Late Summer Lily

Nelly Theunis lived in less that favorable circumstances. Her new neighbor, Florrie became her best friend while her children neglected her. Then one day, she found a spring flowering lily in her garden, blooming at the end of summer. She considered it a sign of hope for her old age. The very same day, her son, born to her in middle age, came visiting for the first time in many months, promising to come again soon. At his next visit, he met a beautiful young lady on her way out. Curiously, he visited often until he met her again, but also starting to take good care of his mom, until he started dating the girl.
Nelly thought all hope was lost for her when she was evicted from her humble hut and put into an old age far away everything familiar. But her 'late summer lily' sprouted, bringing new hope for her yet again. She changed from a meek, downtrodden woman to a self confident person with a 'go-jump-in-a-lake' attitude, which was what caught the eyes of a wealthy newcomer in the home where she had to learn to stand on her own feet or get smashed. Was this gentleman the new sprout on her 'late summer lily'?
