I SMILED, holding grandpa's hand, "Merry Christmas, Papa." I said, "We bought you a few things, okay?" I told him. He nodded his head slowly, making a smile form on my face. It was such a guienune smile because I was so happy he was responding better to me.
"This is Jenn, papa." I pointed at her, who was standing behind me all nervously. She gave him a small wave, "Do you remember meeting her on Thanksgiving?" I nodded.
We stared, waiting for his response. He struggled a little bit but he nodded his head, "Yes." His hoarse voice said. I could feel his warm hand, shake.
I smiled, "She helped me buy you a couple things for Christmas." I said. I looked over at Jenn who was just standing there awkwardly smiling with her hands in her two front pockets, making me let out a little laugh, "You look so tense. Calm down." I rubbed down her arm.
Jenn smacked her lips, smiling, "I'm chillin." She muttered.
"Okay hollon." Jenn passed me a few bags. I sat the bags onto the hospital bed right down by his feet. Out the corner of my eye I could see my mom and grandma recording off their phones. Mom actually looked happy. Over these past few weeks, she's gotten better and I'm so happy for her.
As always, Camrin was late but he's suppose to be on his way up here right now.
"You ready, papa?" I asked as I began to pull things out the bag.
I showed him all the cute things Jenn and I got him for Christmas. I appreciate Jenn a lot because she got him so much along side the things I got him. That's one thing I like about Jenn is that she has a good heart and wouldn't mind doing for people she didn't even know.
Papa loved all his gifts. He even had a few years run down his wrinkly cheeks, of course, making me cry as well. Tears of joy of course. I'm glad he loved everything. That makes me so happy that he's happy.
"Papa, you like your gifts?" And he soon nodded. My cry baby ass laughed as I laid my head on his, "I'm glad you do. I love you." I kissed his forehead, "I couldn't have done it without Jenn." I smiled at her.
Jenn just smiled at me back, "You knoww." She muttered. It was so cute how awkward she was being. I understand this may be an uncomfortable experience for her but I know she was still going to come through anyway.
Mom had took a pic of Jenn, papa and I with all his gifts we bought him, surrounded around us. Jenn and I both ended up posting the pictures on Instagram, gaining a lot of love and support from many people in both our comments which felt really good.
