She gave birth to her only daughter at the age of 40, considering it a miracle. When her daughter became pregnant with her first child at 31, she thought her family would soon have more laughter. But tragedy struck when her daughter died in childbirth, never having had the chance to hold her child.
The child's father disappeared without a trace, leaving her as the child's sole guardian. Each month he sent only a small amount of money, insufficient to cover the basic needs of a newborn. In her old age, she struggled financially while also caring for her grandchild, enduring constant exhaustion.
One day, after an exhausting pediatric appointment, she carried her grandchild into a small café to rest and feed her. A light rain was falling outside the window. The baby began to fuss, and she soothed her: "Shhh, Grandma's here."
However, disapproving glances quickly appeared. A woman at a nearby table loudly complained that this wasn't a daycare center. Her companion even demanded that she take the baby outside because they were "here to relax, not to listen to crying children."
The situation escalated when a waiter approached and asked her to go outside to feed the baby so as not to disturb other customers. The grandmother froze, her hands trembling so much she almost dropped the bottle.
In that seemingly unbearable moment, the baby suddenly fell silent. Its eyes widened, its tiny arm reached out behind her, as if reaching for someone.
The grandmother looked up, following her grandchild's gaze—and what she saw next completely changed the atmosphere of the café…
