I don't know how many of you remember my posts and tears of my grandpa who was in the hospital awhile back. Well I sent him something that is only important to him and I for Christmas.

I sent him a DQ gift card and a note about how much I love him and appreciate every ice cream memory together.

I received a not back from my step-grandma about how when he opened the card, he had a huge smile, then tears welled up in his eyes. She said that he tells everyone all the time about our ice cream trips.

I just wanted to share because I am so happy. I have only shared it with one other person and I just feel like telling the world.

We have no idea how much longer he has left. He goes in and out based upon the day, but I am just missing him and excited that he was happy for my gift.

Thanks for reading :D

Oh Fidget I am so happy for you and him
that is the best thing I have heard all day, ty for sharing!!

Yay!!!!!

Great story - very thoughtful of you. Every grandpa should have at least one granddaughter like you.

Best wishes coming your way.

Thank you guys! I am so excited that it made him smile. He has been crying so much after his eight stroke.

Oh fidget, you are so sweet.

That is so sweet and caring. It's the memories of our loved ones that make them live on in our hearts when they're gone.

oh, that is just so sweet! you didn't just make his day, you made his year.

What a darling gift, Fidget! And what a kindly grandpa you have.

I had so much fun shopping for Christmas gifts for what would be my mom's last Christmas. They were mostly simple things that would keep her comfortable, like warm slippers. And then we were socked in for a week-long blizzard together a couple of months later!

Thank you all. You made me cry. It's not that I'm sweet, but that he deserves so much.

I wish I could be across the country, but this is the next best thing.

That's just so beautiful. I bet that meant more to him than any other gift. :,)

Thanks for sharing. That is very sweet.

That is so precious - a shared memory that will always keep you connected.

Thanks for sharing with us--we are all smiling!

Hugs

Great story. Very neat.

You're a kind thoughtful grand daugher.

That brought tears to my eyes. The perfect gift for someone you love and with whom you share such sweet memories.

That is awesome...you brought up a wonderful set of memories for him which is helping make his life happier. May this be another happy memory for you of the relationship you share with your grandpa.

I am so happy you have that moment forever.
