When 77-year-old Sharon Lewis tripped and struck her head, she couldn't move. The only person who could help was her great-grandson, Bridger— who faced his fear of the dark to come to her rescue

Let’s stop at McDonald’s,” Sharon Lewis told her 3-year-old great- grandson, Bridger, after picking him up from the hospital where he’d been visiting his sister, who had injured herself climb- ing out of a shopping cart.
“She needs stitches. We're going to be here awhile,” Bridger’s mom, Stephanie Peabody, told her grandmother. Sharon had happily offered to take the toddler home, feed him dinner and put him to bed.
“She bleeded everywhere, but Jesus will make her bet- ter,” Bridger told his GiGi as she parked her car in the alley behind their Strasburg, Colorado, home. Sharon fetched her walker from the trunk, then returned to unbuckle Bridger’s car seat and grab her purse and takeout bag.
“I got it!” Bridger said as he opened the back gate. When the alley motion light went out, he gripped GiGi’s hand—he didn’t like the dark.
