Luckily, my grandma took me in, and now I'm living with her and my grandpa.

They gave me space when I needed it, and they're letting me live in their huge attic which is now almost half mine.

I'm grateful...

After spending hours in my room sketching random doodles, I hear the smell of garlic and herbs wafting up through the floorboards.

My stomach growls, reminding me that I skipped lunch.

I set my sketchbook down and walk to the trap door that leads to the attic stairs.

The sound of pots clanking downstairs makes me think of family dinners we used to have.

I climb down the stairs and see the light from the kitchen spilling into the hallway.

Grandma's shadow moves back and forth between the stove and counter.
The Grandparents Are Coming
She's humming an old tune - something she always does while cooking.
The Grandparents Are Coming
"Hey, Grandma," I say, trying to sound casual as I lean against the doorframe.
The Grandparents Are Coming
"Hello, dear," she replies with a warm smile, her eyes twinkling. "You know, sometimes things fall apart so better things can come together."
The Grandparents Are Coming
I pause, taking in her words, and ask, "Do you really think something better is waiting for me?"

"Of course, dear," she says, stirring the pot of her famous pasta sauce.

The aroma of garlic and herbs fills the air, making my stomach rumble again.

She sets down her wooden spoon and walks towards me, opening her arms for a hug.
The Grandparents Are Coming
I hesitate for a moment, then shuffle forward, letting her wrap her arms around my shoulders.

The soft cotton of her apron brushes against my cheek, and I feel the gentle pat of her hand on my back.
