“HISTORY. IS THIS REAL LIFE?!?! 24 hours ago, we booked this flight. And here we are…Dadi hasn’t flown on a plane in over 20 years because of health reasons. But yesterday, she said SCREW IT, life is short, I’m flying home with you to spend more time with my great grandson. All it took was smiley doing his magic. And here we are…I still can’t believe this is real life. I can’t believe dadi is coming home with us. I am in complete shock. Our family will cherish this for the rest of our lives.
