Let me introduce you to the star of our show, Grammy. She’s the kindest, sweetest, most loving woman you’ll ever meet. I adore her to bits, and as far as I’m concerned, she’s the queen of grandmas.
One lazy Sunday afternoon, Grammy brought up something she’d mentioned a few times before. She wanted to move to a retirement home. We were chilling in her cozy living room, sunlight streaming through the lace curtains, sipping on chamomile tea.
“Mia, dear, I’ve been thinking about the retirement home again,” Grammy said, her voice soft but determined.
I set down my cup, trying to hide my sadness. “Grammy, I understand. You want to connect with people your own age, and you deserve to enjoy your time without worrying about us.”

Her eyes softened. “It’s not that I don’t love being with all of you. I just think it would be nice to have friends around and not feel like I’m a burden.”
“You’re never a burden, Grammy,” I said, reaching over to hold her hand. “But if this is what you want, I’ll support you.”
A few weeks later, the big day arrived. We headed to the retirement home, and I helped Grammy with the paperwork and settling in. The place was lovely, with well-kept gardens and cheerful staff.
Grammy seemed content, which eased the uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. After we finished the formalities, we decided to check out the on-site café. And then, out of the blue, something incredible happened.
“Peter? Is that you?” Grammy’s voice was a mix of shock and excitement. I turned to see an elderly man, about Grammy’s age, standing there with a look of disbelief on his face.
“Mary?” he replied, his voice trembling. “Mary, it’s been so long!”
Guys, it was her high school sweetheart, Peter! They hadn’t seen each other in nearly 60 years. My jaw practically hit the floor.
“Grammy, who is this?” I asked, bouncing my gaze between them.
“Oh, Mia, this is Peter,” she said, her eyes twinkling. “Peter, this is my granddaughter, Mia.”
Peter beamed warmly at me. “Nice to meet you, Mia. Your grandma and I were very close way back when.”

They hugged, and it was such a profound moment. After the initial shock wore off, we sat down at a table.
