“She left it for us. For me. She knew I’d need it someday.” His voice broke, and he glanced at the ceiling. “That amazing, stubborn old woman saved us.”
Kaila let out a soft laugh, her pale face brightening. “That sounds just like Grace,” she said fondly. “She always knew what she was doing.”
Mike blinked back tears. “I didn’t deserve it, Mom. I treated her horribly, and she still—”
Kaila squeezed his hand. “Your grandma’s love was unconditional, Mike. That’s the true essence of love.”
“I don’t know if I can ever make it up to her,” he said quietly.
“You already are, sweetheart. You’re here, doing everything you can for me. Grace would be incredibly proud.”
Over the next few months, Kaila’s treatment began to show positive results. Mike paid off the overwhelming hospital bills and even managed to reduce his grueling work hours.
With the weight of financial stress lifted from his shoulders, he started envisioning his future.
Soon, he found a part – time accounting course. It was something he had always dreamed of pursuing but could never afford.
For the first time in a long while, life seemed full of possibilities. Mike was finally on the verge of living the peaceful and fulfilling life he had always yearned for.
And it was all thanks to his loving grandmother.
