A
A
Was
married
for
a
long
time
happily
married
and
then
that
wife
died
so
I
was
alone
and
same
time
my
daughter
had
a
divorce
from
her
husband
and
so
I
thought
it
would
be
a
great
idea
if
she
and
the
two
kids
would
move
in
with
me
lead
the
family
again,
so
she
moved
in
and
it
was
wonderful.
We
were
family,
we
had
dinners
together,
I
had
the
grandchildren,
she
went
to
work,
everything
was
really
going
well
and
then
one
day
I
got
a
phone
call.
I
picked
up
the
phone
and
it
was
my
bank.
A
I
was
overdrawn,
I,
don't
understand
how
could
I
be
overdrawn?
I
don't
do
much
and
I
said
well,
it
must
be
a
mistake.
I'll
ask
my
daughter,
because
she
does
the
financing
she's,
the
one
that
took
over
the
checkbooks
and
the
account
so
I
don't
have
to
deal
with
it.
My
wife
did
it
then
the
investment
house,
where
I
have
my
eye
on
pension
plan
and
my
IRA
called
they
wanted
to
know.
Why
withdrew
all
the
money
from
my
IRA
and
I?
Don't
understand,
I,
really,
don't
understand
and
now
I'm
real
concerned.
I.
