People Share the Moment That They Know They Fell in Love

"I love telling this story, I hope you enjoy it. My grandfather was sick and nearing the end of his fight with lung cancer. I got a call from my aunt that I needed to come for another visit as his time was short.

"I had assumed she was being dramatic as I had just seen him three weeks earlier and he was going pretty well. I figured I would take my new girlfriend, we would visit the grandparents, and then head off to Miami for a couple of days.

"I had no idea what I was walking into. We show up on Friday evening to my grandfather now residing in a hospital bed, about 40 to 50 pounds less than three weeks earlier, and really in bad shape. I was crushed. I had to excuse my self and went out on the porch and balled my eyes out. My girlfriend came out to comfort me and after a while I felt better. Well, we visited all night and stayed the night in one of the guest rooms.

"The next morning I was woken up by my aunt who told me quietly that grandpa had passed and she needed my help. I quickly sprang to action and began helping with the arrangements. I was busy calling family, calling a priest, funeral home, and trying to console my grandmother. About noon or so, I realized I kind of forgot about my girlfriend.

"Well, she was in the kitchen cleaning up after making lunch for everyone and setting up snacks for family that was on the way. She even had a pie in the oven. This woman was expecting to spend some time on a beach with her boyfriend and instead was stuck in the awkward situation (to put it mildly).

"This was the first time meeting any of my family and now she was surrounded by everyone during death in the family. She not only was being great, she never mentioned nothing about not leaving nor any of her feelings, she was just there to help if she could. That warmed my heart and I knew she was who I wanted to be with. My grandmother later that day was sitting thanking my girlfriend for all she did and then said 'I noticed how you handled today, that's enough in my book, you have my permission to marry my grandson.' Little did I know about a year later, with her approval (lol), I made that women my wife." - Redditor 9onthesnap
