My uncle ended up getting grandpa’s desk and I made it known I would buy it from him if he ever decided he didn’t want it anymore.
My uncle died from Leukemia in April. This morning we had a knock on the door and when I went to the door there was the desk. My aunt and her two oldest sons were standing on my porch. They told me they remembered how much I loved that desk and that they wanted me to have it. The boys helped bring it into my house and then they asked me to open the top. When I opened the top, inside was a wrapped present. I opened the present and it was a framed picture of me and my grandpa sitting in his office.
I’m not ashamed to say I cried like a baby when I saw the picture. This is by far the best Christmas present I have ever received.

But seriously - one of the better Christmas stories I have ever heard (or read).
