Despite suffering from arthritis, he took extra shifts at a grocery store and spent his nights sewing children&#8217;s blankets to sell at a flea market.

Slowly, Grandpa learned to trust Daniel, and six months later, I managed to take three trembling steps between parallel bars. They both cried as they watched. I realized Grandpa would always be the man who raised me, but discovering the truth had also given me the chance to know my father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a terrible car accident left me unable to walk, my 76-year-old grandfather worked tirelessly to afford my physical therapy.
