Goodnight
Grandpa
Grandpa had lived a full life, with a
loving wife, children, and grandchildren.
In his latter years he had grown especially fond
of his youngest granddaughter, Susie,
and would spend many enjoyable evenings
reading bedtime stories
while watching her fall asleep.
One night, growing weary, Grandpa turned
to Susie and said, “I have an idea.
I’m very tired tonight,
so why don’t you read to me instead.”
Susie loved the idea and
selected one of their favorite books.
Sitting next to Grandpa, who was now
lying comfortably in bed,
she began reading…
It wasn’t long before Grandpa closed his eyes
and drifted off to sleep.
Susie silently turned off the light,
leaned over and kissed Grandpa on the cheek,
and whispered,
“Good night, Grandpa. I love you. Sleep well.”
Grandpa slept very well that night
and is now with the angels.
