On Mother's Day, the narrator and their grandparents celebrated with flowers for their grandma, though the narrator's mother was away. Later, after the grandparents left for bingo, the narrator heard footsteps on the stairs and discovered their Uncle Dennis had surprised them with a visit, having traveled from Sault Saint Marie to see the family, staying for a whole week to spend time with their grandma and grandparents, who were surprised but happy to see him after spotting his car in the driveway.
