Emily loves to visit her grandmother's house every summer. As she steps inside, she is greeted by the familiar scent of homemade cookies and the sound of her grandmother humming softly in the kitchen. They spend their days gardening, baking, and playing board games. In the evenings, they often sit on the porch sharing stories under the stars. Emily always leaves with memories that she cherishes throughout the year.
This summer was different, though. When Emily arrived, her grandmother was unusually quiet. She didn’t bake as many cookies, and their usual games seemed to tire her out quickly. One afternoon, while they sat on the porch, Emily noticed her grandmother staring into the distance, a hint of sadness in her eyes. Emily wondered if something was troubling her.
