71 - Dear Maya, it's a Blue Christmas

Dear Maya, one year, my grandma was staying at a rehabilitation facility around Christmas time and I went to visit her. I lucked out - that very day an Elvis impersonator was singing in the cafeteria for all the residents.

Grandma sat in a wheel chair watching Elvis with stars in her eyes. For a moment I saw her pain fade into happiness. It felt like heaven was shining a spotlight on both of my grandparents as they danced and enjoyed the music together.

I knew I wouldn't get that moment back. I sat there knowing it was going to be a memory I would keep in my pocket forever.

I hope you have many moments like this with your grandparents.
