When my grandson told me he was moving out, my heart swelled with pride and a little sadness. I wanted so badly to give him a grand gift to mark the new chapter in his life—something he could proudly display in his first home. But my fixed income made that impossible.
So instead, I poured my love into something I could give: a photo album. I spent hours choosing the right pictures—first-day-of-school smiles, birthday candles, messy ice cream faces, quiet moments of us sitting together on the porch. On every page, I added a handwritten note, reminding him of the stories behind those moments and of the bond we shared.
When I handed it to him, my heart fluttered with hope.
But he only gave it the quickest glance before setting it aside to continue packing.
I forced a smile so he wouldn’t see the disappointment tightening my chest. I told myself he was just busy, distracted. But that night, as I lay in bed, the doubt crept in. Did it mean anything to him at all? Had I given him something he didn’t value?
The next morning, my phone rang. It was my daughter, her voice thick with emotion.
“Mom,” she said softly, “go check your front porch.”
Puzzled, I opened the door—and there it was: a neatly wrapped package with my grandson’s handwriting on top. A small note rested beside it, my name written carefully in his familiar scrawl.
