The Best Gift of All…

(Scene: K is in California for Christmas with her family. Her grandpa had a stroke a few years ago and has been unable to make much sense with communication; he understands, he just can’t put words into sentences very well…)

K: How are you today, Grandpa? I like your hat! You look so handsome!

Grandpa: (grabs kate’s hand) I love you…I am glad to see you looking so well.

K: (speechless for a moment) I love you too, Grandpa. I love you a whole lot.

(Sometimes the most meaningful moments are the most simple. End Scene.)
