I moved to Chicago ten years ago. As I was new to the area, I had      friends and seldom went out to parties. But a month later, I was invited to a party and there I      an elderly couple.
The wife and I      for a long time. She told me how      she was about her husband who was      a heart operation. At that time I was working as a researcher in the same      where the husband would be going for his operation,      I told her to take down my phone number and      me to let me know when he was there.
She phoned a few weeks later as      and told me that her husband was admitted to the hospital and      waiting. I told her that I would go and check on him every day while I was at     . I thought that if it was my dad, I would do the same, so I decided to give them some     .
Weeks turned into months and it just became my      to see them and keep track of how things were going before, during and after the heart operation. Sometimes I'd bring a      for him to read, or some food that we would share     . As time went by, it seemed like I became part of the     . Even after the husband returned from the hospital, we still often      each other on holidays.
Now, ten years later, I      my own family. Since our parents don’t      close by, this couple has bee my son’s “local” grandparents. My wife and I often feel truly      to have this couple as our “local” parents! Sometimes family es out of the most unexpected place.
