✨ The Heart of the Story :  Goodbyes don’t mean love disappears. Even when things change, relationships can remain strong in new and meaningful ways. 
Fourteen-year-old Stacy shares a close, loving bond with her grandmother, Nana, who lives with her family and fills their home with warmth, routines, and comfort. When Nana explains that she needs to move to a nearby retirement community to receive more care, Stacy feels overwhelmed by sadness and fear of losing their closeness. As they pack memories into boxes, say goodbye to familiar spaces, and adjust to a new rhythm of visits, Stacy learns that while their daily lives change, the love they share does not. Through patience, reassurance, and new traditions, Stacy finds a way to hold onto connection while letting change unfold.
