If you are out in the real world working at a job, chances are you didn’t get to have a three day weekend in February. Fortunately for me, I am still in school, and as a result of this, I got to take the day off on President’s Day (and since President’s Day was on a Monday, this meant a full three day weekend for me).
While a lot of my friends simply sat around and didn’t do much with their three day weekend, I decided that I wanted to actually use this time for something. Although I had seen just about all of my family members less than two months ago for Christmas, the one person I didn’t get to see was my Grandma. She lives in Atlanta, and because she is older and has some health problems, she was unable to travel to be with the rest of us for Christmas.
Since I had missed seeing her, I scooped up an airline ticket to Atlanta for the Friday of my three day weekend. Once I got to Atlanta, I also picked up an airport car rental, and then headed over to her house.
I honestly can’t describe just how happy she was to see me. I could tell that my visit literally meant the world to her, and it just felt really good to be able to make someone I care about so happy.
