A doting grandma who turned 82 wanted to surprise her granddaughter with a birthday celebration in the park. She waited for several hours under the hot sun, but nobody from her family showed up after learning she was a janitor.
The relationship between grandmothers and grandchildren is always special. To nurture that unique bond, grannies would go to any extent to foster love, patience, wisdom, fun, and support for their grandkids. Charleston granny Doris also wanted to do something special for her beloved granddaughter, Alisa.
When she thought deeply about how to make her granddaughter happy, she remembered that her 82nd birthday was nearing. So Doris decided to throw a lovely garden party in the park. But the only obstacle she had was that she did not have enough money for the occasion.

Doris did not want to ask her son Kevin or daughter Ella for money because she felt it was unfair to burden them with unwanted expenses. So, she decided to look for a job…
The grandma was sent out of almost every doorstep she reached, begging for a job. People felt she was too old to work and did not want to hire her.
“…I’ll be waiting for you at 9 in the morning. Please don’t disappoint me,” cried the grandma.
She finally turned the wheel of fortune when a local school principal was moved by her story and hired her as a janitor. It was the only available position, and the grandma was assigned a corridor near the hall to sweep and clean.
