It was a privilege for Eloise to have her grandson Josh living with her while he was attending college away from home. Eloise had struggled to keep herself busy since her husband's death three years ago. But having Josh around was the motivation for Eloise to stay active. Now most of her days were spent baking bread and cookies or with friends and neighbors.
When Eloise returned from a get-together with her friends one evening, Josh pointed to a black-and-white picture lying on the table, and said, "Hi, Grandma. I found this in my closet. Is that you and Granddad?" Eloise looked at the picture and laughed quietly. "Oh, that was a long time ago. I must have overlooked it when I was cleaning to make room for your things."
"That's your granddad and me before we were married. We met at a party. I loved to dance, and he was a good dancer," Eloise smiled, enjoying the memories that came flooding back.
"After we got married, we rarely had time to go dancing. But every once in a while, after the children went to bed, we'd pull out the record player and dance in the backyard under the stars."
Leaning back in his chair, Josh appeared to be enjoying the story. "Wow, Granddad was quite a romantic guy!"
"Yeah. He was very romantic. I still miss him dearly." Eloise shook her head, attempting to get rid of the lonely feeling that was beginning to form. "Well, it's getting late now. Let's get some sleep." "I've really enjoyed hearing the story about you and Granddad," Josh hugged his grandma. Then he went back to his room.
Two hours ago, Mom called to tell him that the next day would be Grandma's birthday. He eagerly wanted to give a special present to Grandma, but he was short of money. After hearing Grandma's words and knowing their story, he got a brilliant idea in his mind.
