Was the promise easy to achieve

Well, we often make promises to different people with the intention to keep the promises.
However, sometimes due to uncertain circumstances, we fail to keep our words.
I would like to share one such experience where I promised my friend to help, but I couldn’t.
It happened the last month when my friend who participated in a science competition called me.
He said that he needs my help in making a project as he has to make a working model on a science topic.
Since I had taken part in many competitions like these, and I straightaway said not to worry, I will help you.
In fact, I said to him that I will come a day prior to your submission will stay overnight at your place, and during this time, we will complete this project.
My friend had a firm belief in me, and that’s why he was happy to hear, and now we were supposed to meet teach other on the promised day.
Unfortunately, that day my grandmother fall seriously sick, and I had to take her to the hospital where she got admitted.
Instead of helping my friend in making the project had to be there with my grandmother to take care of her all night long.
Inevitably, my friend couldn’t complete his assignment without my help, and he failed.
However, I apologized to my friend for not being able to help him due to a medical emergency.
But, I feel bad that my friend failed just because I couldn’t keep my words.
