I’m not sure exactly why you feel compelled to change the essay- possibly because the situation with your grandfather was a powerful and meaningful experience to you that happened recently? That’s perfectly valid and understandable- however it sounds like the essay you’ve already written answers the question well anyway.

Either one seems like an excellent topic. Write and submit the one that you personally feel most comfortable talking about (both from the point of view of the strength of your application and the point of view of your personal life and dealing with these things), but I’m not sure one or the other is “better.”

Have I answered your question at all?
