254 Grandpa Took His Last Breath

@@

Stephen squeezed his hand, trying to get out every word while it still counted, "I promise to you I'll watch over our family. Take care of Grandma, and mom, and Aunt Linda. Be a good role model for the twins. And be the man I'm supposed to be for Grace. It's because of you, and seeing your relationship with Grandma, that I know what a good relationship looks like. And I try so hard every day to live up to that standard with Grace. I promise you, I'm going to make you proud, Grandpa."

"Most important of all, I love you, Grandpa. I always want you to know that. And if what the doctor says is true, and this is the last night you have with us, then you needed to know that before you go." He grabbed a tissue, wiping away the excess tears.

Despite Grandpa being unconscious, Stephen could have sworn he saw his lips curve upwards, just giving the faintest hint of smile. It was all he needed to see, the knowledge that Grandpa had heard the words he had needed to say.

Taking one last moment to say goodbye, he emerged from the room shortly after, almost collapsing into Grace and hugging her tightly. A short while later, Grandma went into to spend the final moments with her husband. Nobody from the family left that night, but they weren't waiting for very long.

Shortly after midnight, Grandpa took his last breath. The best man that Stephen had ever known now belonged to the heavens.@@
