Oh, thanks! To both of you, actually; it's lovely to have such positive commnents on a story which is *not* fanfic. And, Swytyv, all that you've said above about the hero's reawakening is exactly what I was aiming for. After all, why can't a grandma be a hero? In my opinion, mnay of them already are. :)

I hope you will get around to my other grandmother/grandson story. I'll be interested to know what you think.
