Grandmother Reunites with Her Long-Ago Sweetheart at the Care Facility

As it was a usual Sunday afternoon, Emma told her granddaughter Mia that she would like to move to a retirement home. She told her granddaughter that she was thinking about moving once again.

As Mia understand that her grandmother wanted to be with people in her age, she stated that her grandmother deserves to be happy.

As Emma stated again, she told her granddaughter that she is feeling like a burden while she was staying with them, and having people on her age around her would make her feel better.

Mia told her grandmother that she is supporting her in her decision. Few weeks later, they took Emma to her retirement home. The crew of the retirement house were great as they were constantly smiling, and the place was great too.

After the registration, the family were waiting for coffee in the local cafe. At that moment, Emma saw Jack, her long-lost lover.

“Is that you, Peter?”

“Emma? How long has it been?”

Mia asked to her grandmother, “Grammy, who is this you’re talking to?”

“My dear Mia, this is Jack, and Jack, this is my granddaughter, Mia.”

Jack turned to Mia, “Nice to meet with you Mia. Emma and I were very close back in the day.”

As the family were shocked, they sat down together at the table. As they watched their Grammy and Jack talk, they were feeling as if they were watching a romantic movie.

As they shared their old stories with one another and with the family, suddenly, Emma started to cry silently. Jack hugged to Emma as she started to sobbing.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“Jack, I can’t forgive myself for what I’ve done. You are the father of my son, James.”

Jack was shocked, as he couldn’t give a proper sentence. “How… But… Why did you… Why a secret…”

Then Emma continued, “My family were against you Jack. I was in love with you, but they told me that they would disown me if I would be with you. After the night we spent together, James was born.”

As Jack’s head was spinning, he hold his face in his hands. His breathing became heavier with each inhale.

But as life had to intervene, Jack had told Emma that his family were taking him to a different state so he could study more efficiently. Emma said that she was heartbroken, and Jack stated that he did that for Emma to not have a problem with her family.

Few weeks after their last talk, Emma found out that she was pregnant with Jack’s child. She left a note for her family, and ran away from her home. She had no idea where Jack had gone, and she couldn’t contact him.

“I didn’t know.” Jack said as he was pale with the shocking revelation. “I’m incredibly sorry that I’ve missed the life you wanted with me. I’ve searched for you for years, but sadly I couldn’t find you.”

Then Jack hold Emma’s hands. “From that day on, we will be together until the end,” he smiled.

“I can do that,” Emma smiled back at Jack.

As they spent the rest of their lives together at the retirement home, they would walk together at the garden each morning. When Mia would come to visit, she would join her grandmother and grandfather, and they would spend the day together as a happy family.
