It was a honestly sizzling Summer afternoon, I went to see my Grandfather.
I was dripping sweat from the excessive heat as I tentatively made my way to her front door.
Anticipation filled the air as I heard that dear seasoned Grandfather possessed a secret weapon against the heat wave, an a/c. Stepping inside her house, I found Grandfather comfortably settled in her cherished rocking chair, wielding a handheld fan. “Grandfather, why on earth haven’t you turned on the a/c? It’s unbelievably sizzling in here, not to mention outside!” My voice was filled with concern. In response, she chuckled plus brushed off the idea of lavish cooling systems. Before I could ask him why, she jumped up from her chair, grin widening, plus flung open every window in the room. As the breeze blew through, I could hear the cheerful chirping of birds plus the giggling of neighborhood children. The overwhelming heat that had bothered me dissipated, plus before long, Grandfather yanked the chain, setting the ceiling fan in motion. It started circulating the air with a gentle breeze. Despite knowing that Grandfather owned a sophisticated a/c unit, she insisted that such contraptions were unnecessary! Grandfather stood gracefully in the center of the room, her arm outstretched, relishing the cool breeze from the fan plus refreshing airflow through the open windows. Intrigued, I settled down on the couch, embracing the moment. Sometimes you just have to prefer the moment plus realize that the little things can make anyone thrilled. This is one of those moments. A memory, I have cherished for many years.
