When I received that disturbing phone call from my mom about my grandpa’s heart attack, my world turned upside down. Grandpa Alvin means the world to me, and the thought of him being in the hospital was unbearable. The drive to the hospital felt like an eternity, my heart pounding with worry. Thankfully, the surgery was successful, but the doctor emphasized the importance of Grandpa’s recovery, including a heart-healthy diet and low stress levels.
Grandpa was allowed to go home but lived in another town. Hiring a full-time nurse was a blessing, but it meant we couldn’t visit him as often as we’d like. After two months of not seeing him, I decided it was time to pay him a surprise visit.
