I moved to Chicago ten years ago. As I was new to the area, I had 41 friends and seldom went out to parties. But a month later, I was invited to a party and there I 42 an elderly couple.

The wife and I 43 for a long time. She told me how 44 she was about her husband who was 45 a heart operation. At that time I was working as a researcher in the same 46 where the husband would be going for his operation, 47 I told her to take down my phone number and 48 me to let me know when he was there.

She phoned a few weeks later as 49 and told me that her husband was admitted to the hospital and 50 waiting. I told her that I would go and check on him every day while I was at 51 . I thought that if it was my dad, I would do the same, so I decided to give them some 52 .

Weeks turned into months and it just became my 53 to see them and keep track of how things were going before, during and after the heart operation. Sometimes I'd bring a 54 for him to read, or some food that we would share 55 . As time went by, it seemed like I became part of the 56 . Even after the husband returned from the hospital, we still often 57 each other on holidays.

Now, ten years later, I 58 my own family. Since our parents don’t 59 close by, this couple has become my son’s “local” grandparents. My wife and I often feel truly 60 to have this couple as our “local” parents! Sometimes family comes out of the most unexpected place.
