I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.  I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said “Great opportunity.” “What is?” I asked. “To talk you and I,” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad and what we’re going to do with ourselves now that we’re in the situation we are in.” “But we can’t do anything about it Grandpa,” I said surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was. And that’s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark we talked about our feeling and fears of life---from how fast things change to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night because the power went out I found a new friend with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains whatever they may be.
