How totally sweet! A worried grandpa being taking care of by his loving granddaughter. She's going to grow into a wonderful, caring lady! May all kids grow up like this! Thanks for the wonderfully endearing essay, Sean. We do appreciate your stories!
Awww I took care of my Dad when he was old. Every time I changed my clothes, I was a different person to him. (In the morning in our Jammie’s I was the lady who came to make breakfast. Later when dressed for the day and shaving him, he would tell me the breakfast lady was ok) 🥲☕️😇💌
WHAT A GIFT YOU GAVE TO US ALL!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS LETTER!! BLESS YOU SEAN FOR ALWAYS SHOWING KINDNESS..!!! A REMINDER TO ALL OF US!!! THANK YOU!!!!
So sweet on so many levels. I am flying my bride to visit our grandson at college this morning right after church. In many ways, I am Robert ... right down to the Merrells. And yet, I am blessed beyond measure. My sweet sister is Robert in other ways ... she doesn't know her children or grandchildren anymore. But she's still sweet. We're both fortunate to have Angelas in our lives.
Oh, my! That's awesome! Thank you, Sean! As always, you give us beautiful insights into the lives of others—loving, caring, kind, generous, compassionate people. Goodness!
Such patience and compassion from a child. Angela has the sense to be present for grandfather whose short term memory is slipping. To hold his hand. Angel-a, hmm.
Loved loved this! And loved your show tonite in Tuscaloosa. Only my fifth time to have the good fortune to attend your show!! Loved the music! Your wide range of artistic talent blows my mind! Thank you for brightening our world
Psalm 127 : 3 says, "Children are a Gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him.”
10 year old Angela is that Gift to her 82 year old Grampa, who is now in need of her compassionate love at a scary airport. Since she has flown “tons” of times, she’s able to put him more at ease, and tell him “it’s going to be okay.”
I love the hand holding, as she leads her Grampa toward the gate. And the back rubbing, too.
But Sean, I also love your compliment to Angela’s Mom. A parent always appreciates knowing that her child is extraordinary💖
Out of chaos comes a sweet and tender story. A life unfolds for a grandchild who is mesmerized by her dear grandfather. I never had a grandfather to talk with, sadly, I have always missed this experience. This story reminds me why. In my family circle, stories from those who knew “Bill” or “Red” are the only small window I see through to know a little about them.
I never knew either of my grandpa's, either, Cindy. Although, my grandpa on my dad's side did hold me as an infant and said to my mom, she won't remember me.
Something tells me that little girl would have been just as kind to a complete stranger. She knows compassion and kindness first hand. ❤️❤️❤️

I took care of my mom in her own home for 3 yrs while my hubby held down the fort at the farm. I'll never regret the time spent with her.
You are so right❣️🤗
Bless your heart, Carol. What a wonderfully dutiful daughter you were and always will be.

Sweet.
The little square box says "Write a comment" but I could not add to the story if I wanted to. Way to go Sean.

And, I did, too. ❤️

This pulls at my heartstrings and brings joy to my soul.
Wow!
