  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.”
