Always being close to 72-year-old grandfather Ron Petrillo who helped raise her as a kid, the young woman had formed a bond early on with him. But she had absolutely no idea that he was planning to give her a surprise for years…he was just waiting for the perfect time.

On the morning of her sixteenth birthday, her beloved grandpa Ron handed her three spiral notebooks. In it, her grandpa would write his heartwarming stories with her, how he would dance himself silly and make Ren laugh.

These detailed stories were written back when she was around 2-5 years old and all along she has no idea that her grandpa kept it all these years!
