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.
“I’ll address the people,” my father said.?
“Good idea,” I agreed.?
“This is great news, son. A wonderful gift. The best gift we’ve received so far.” I saw the excitement and happiness flowing in my father’s eyes.
“I couldn’t agree more, Daddy.”
