THAYER

 

 

The entire country was celebrating. My family was beyond relieved. We just did a video call with the King. My grandfather was still weak but managed to wave to the camera. His speech pattern was still slurry, but he could remember us. 

Thank God. I sighed in relief again.

 

I felt a million tons lifted off my shoulders. My heart filled with contentment and happiness. I wiped my face, not knowing I just cried. This time, it was tears of joy. 

Grandfather and I were very closed. We shared this special bonding since I was named after his father. That was why he called me Camren instead of Thayer.
