We didn't stay long, just long enough for him to hold his great-grandson and smile for what felt like the first time in ages. He thanked me for coming. I was surprised because I didn't think he got anything out of me being there, but he did.

It won't be the most enjoyable trip you've ever taken, but it'll be a comfort to you that you made the effort.
