Find a memory that you’re grateful for.
The memory I'm most grateful for is the last time I saw my Grandpa. On his last visit from his home in Oregon to see us, he fell and ended up breaking his leg. He had a really hard time after that in regards to healing, walking, getting out o the hospital, etc. He finally was able to get well enough that my parents could drive him home. I knew when they drove away that it would probably be the last time I ever saw him in California. I knew if we were ever going to see him again, it would be us going to visit him. I made sure to give him a hug, a kiss, told him I loved him, and watched him for as long as I could. I never saw him happier. A few weeks later he fell again and ended up back in the hospital. He never did make it home.
I'm so grateful that the last time I saw my Grandpa he was so happy and excited. My Grandpa was very special to me and I miss him so much. I think of him every day. When I think about that last visit, the first thing I remember is seeing him happily driving away. I'm so grateful that is what I think of first, and not everything else. I love that when I think of my Grandpa, I remember him happy first.
