A little ray of sunshine
She always said to everyone that her grandson was like a little ray of sunshine. So when he asked her that one question it was yet another confirmation for her that this was true. With a sweet smile on his face, he stood at her doorstep and asked if they could throw another sleepover. “Just like the old days”, he said. When her grandson Dave suggested this, Ruth’s heart melted. Even though he was already 17 now, and the time of sleepovers was long gone for him, he wanted to cheer up his grandma with this adorable gesture.
So that’s what they did, they threw the best sleepover ever and it felt like the old days again. After that moment, Ruth immediately felt better and her bond with her grandson became even better than before. He visited her almost every day and they became inseparable. He really was her rock and the light in her day. So when the following thing happened it broke her heart.
