Liam read the news with a peculiar sense of calm. His application essay – the one about his grandfather, and the way he weathered life's storms – was now being showcased. It was a private thing, a deeply personal thing, to share it with the world.

He pictured his grandfather’s face, etched with a lifetime of stories. A tenderness filled his being, a gentle warmth, and he felt a deep sense of connection to his family.

He went to the website and found it; a little piece of his grandfather's spirit now available to anyone with internet access. He knew his grandfather would be proud. Liam hoped that maybe his words would bring someone else a measure of peace, a bit of that same strength. He felt so happy.
