    After fighting cancer for 13 years, my grandfather became ill enough to be admitted to  hospital. One morning, he was having trouble breathing, but continued to silently hold my  hand. I kept forgetting his special request that grandpa wanted me to fetch a New Year card that my late grandmother had given him on their last anniversary together. He used the card as  a bookmark in his Bible.

I just knew that I had to fetch his much-loved and much-requested gift. Leaving my  grandpa at his bedside, I rushed home. Jumping back into my car with the card in my hand,  was depressed when the car wouldn't start. I quickly ran to the nearest bus stop. As I waited  there, out of breath, I looked in my purse only to find a $20 note and 50 cents in change.

       A short while later, a bus appeared. I quickly got on and offered the driver the $20 note To my amazement, he told me  that he had no change and that I had to get off and wait for the next bus. I was horrified.

     A few minutes later, another bus came.<'Hey, where do you want to go?" asked another driver . I told him the hospital and  about my lack of change. Although he was going to completely different destination, he shouted, "Hop aboard- - -let's see what we can do."

     In exchange for my $20 note, he offered me two fives and a ten. Next, he picked up his phone and made a call. Just as we passed the corner, I could see the previous bus that I had tried to board waiting for me, at the next stop. My kind driver told me, to hop out and catch the, bus in front.

     After less than 20 minutes, I was back at the hospital. By then, grandpa was pale and blue. When I handed him the card, he laughed and cried. As he looked at it, I knew I had done the right thing in getting it for him. It was like telling grandma that he was coming.
