My Son-In-Law Tried To Evict Me — Then Learned Who Actually Owned The Land

My Son-In-Law Tried To Evict Me — Then Learned Who Actually Owned The Land The certified letter arrived on a Tuesday morning. I remember because I had just finished watering the bougainvillea that climbs the trellis beside the pool house door, the same bougainvillea my wife Margaret planted the summer before she passed. The mailman handed it to me directly, required a signature, and I noticed the return address bore the name of a law firm I did not recognize. Kessler, Branch and Associates. Standing there in the morning light with wet hands and a towel over my shoulder, I read the words that my own son-in-law had set into motion: Notice to Vacate. Thirty days. The property I had lived on for nineteen months was no longer available to me, according to the documents inside. My daughter's husband had filed for my eviction. I folded the letter carefully, slid it back into its envelope, and finished watering the flowers. The hose needed to be coiled properly. The pool skimmer needed emptying. These were tasks I had taken upon myself when I moved into the pool house, and I was not about to abandon them because of paperwork. The morning sun caught the droplets on the petals, and for a moment, I thought of Margaret standing in this exact spot, her gardening gloves worn thin at the fingers, telling me that bougainvillea needed tough love to bloom. What Derek did not know, what my own daughter apparently had never told him or perhaps never fully understood herself, was that the ground beneath his feet belonged to me. Every blade of grass, every foundation stone, every inch of that half-acre lot. I had purchased it in 1987, thirty-seven years before that certified letter arrived in my hands. But discovering the depth of what he did not know would take time. And I had learned, over seven decades of living, that time is the one currency a patient man never runs short of. Let me explain who I am and how I came to be standing in a pool house on land I had bought before my son-in-law learned to walk.
