Janet’s whole world turned upside down when she lost Thomas, her beloved husband of
25 years. Both of her boys, Brad and Eric, watched as their mother struggled to deal with
her grief. To help their mother get better, they came up with a plan to surprise her with a
home makeover and send her on a dream vacation.
Janet’s boys gave her a plane ticket to go back to the place where she and Thomas met
for the first time. Janet was touched by the kind act and set out on her trip, not knowing
the surprise that was waiting for her when she got back. While she looked around the
city and thought about her time with Thomas, her sons worked hard to make their house
look better.
Before he died suddenly, Brad and Eric saw their dad start fixing up their house. The
brothers finished the renovation on their own to honor his memory and finish the
unfinished job. They painted the house, changed how the kitchen looked, and bought
new furniture for the living room.
When Janet got home, she was shocked and couldn’t say anything. She was moved to
tears as she walked into her newly remodeled house. Janet could hardly believe her eyes
when she saw the change. Then, her boys took her to her bedroom and showed her a
beautiful family photo wall they had made.
Janet felt touched by the kind act, and she was overwhelmed with thanks. She knew that
this surprise was just what she needed to start getting better as she hugged her kids with
tears running down her face. The remodeling work and the thoughtful display of family
photos helped her remember that her boys were always there for her.

While they were sitting together in their brand-new home, Janet told them about her trip
and the memories that came back to her. Her boys paid close attention and were glad to
see their mother smile again. They were closer after the surprise, and they knew that their
dad would live on in the love and support they had for each other as a family.

family is. A small act of kindness can bring a lot of happiness and comfort to someone
who is sad. Brad and Eric showed what love and family are really about by remembering
their father and being there for their mother.
