The Most Meaningful Thing During Holiday
This summer, I helped my grandma learn to use a smartphone. It was the most meaningful holiday thing. At first, she struggled with video calls and sending photos, often looking frustrated.
I sat with her every afternoon, showing her step by step. I taught her to tap the “call” button and select her family members. When she finally called my uncle successfully, her eyes lit up with joy.
This small act let me know how much my help meant to her. It taught me to be patient and care more about elders. This holiday memory will warm my heart for a long time.
