Granny Drains Savings Giving Grandson Best Day of His Life, Only Sees Him Again After 15 Years — Story of the Day

A doting grandmother took her grandson on a special date, which he once claimed to be the “best day of his life.” After circumstances forced him to move away, they lost touch and only saw each other again after fifteen years, hoping it wasn’t too late to make up for the lost time.

Emelia lived in the same neighborhood in Los Angeles as her daughter Mia, son-in-law James, and grandson Levi. Because they lived so close to one another, they saw each other frequently, having dinners together and celebrating the holidays as a family.

One day, James revealed to Mia and Levi that he got a great job opportunity at a top company, but they’d be forced to move to New York, a five-hour flight from where they currently lived.

Levi was equally sad that he had to leave his grandma Emelia behind. She practically raised him since his parents both worked hard the entire day. He would spend his afternoons with his grandmother, and they shared a special bond that he knew would be difficult to replace.

When they broke the news to Emelia, she was heartbroken. “I am so happy for you, James, congratulations on the great job opportunity,” she said warmly. “It’s just a pity I won’t be seeing you often anymore.”

“We’ll keep in touch, grandma. I promise!” Levi said, giving her a tight hug. “There’s the internet, and there’s the phone, too. I promise to always call you,” he assured.
