While the rest of her family insists on doing everything “by the book,” she’s chosen a different kind of care.

She says it’s the only thing that still makes him light up.The only time he smiles.The only time he feels like her grandpa not just a patient. The secret? If her family found out, they’d be furious, accusing her of being irresponsible or interfering with his care. But the caller believes comfort matters more than rules when time is running out.
