I missed my grandma so much ever since I moved away for work. We used to spend time together when I lived nearby, but now I was miles away. The new position was excellent for my career, and grandma encouraged me not to fear change. I’d been making lots of new friends in the new area, but I still missed her. She has been my confidant ever since I was a young boy and even felt more like my best friend. So, last weekend I planned to survive her. I’d have to drive about 8 hours to get to her, but I’d take a couple of days off work. The drive to her home was full of excitement and anticipation. We’d spoken that morning, but I didn’t give her any clue that I was coming to see her. She encouraged me as she always did and said I should drop by when I got the time. The minute I pulled up to the house, I began to honk my horn, knowing she’d come to the door quite annoyed. We embraced so hard that I was afraid I’d knock her down, then went inside the house. Grandma had been doing some upgrades and even showed me the new furnace she’d had installed in her home. Previously, she had an air conditioner that was about a decade old. For the last year, the unit had broken down several times and ended up costing grandma so much money to repair. Finally, she heeded the advice of the AC mechanic and got a new unit. The furnace was excellent in evenly warming the house during those long winter months.
