She held onto her grandpa’s hand feeling safe and loved. she
looked forward to their evening walks in the country where grandpa had lived
for his whole life. It was here on a dusty road he first met grandma who was
picking berries with her sister. Grandpa said she was the most beautiful person
he had ever seen. They got married and she moved into the farm house where she
lived for over fifty years until the lord took her home on the first day of
spring, her favorite time of year. Grampa lived alone now and refused to do
otherwise if he was able to fry an egg and shave his face. His granddaughter
was the only one who visited him guess his kids lived a busy life in the big city.
They did come out at Christmas with big wrapped boxes and smiles to last
another year. As they walked she would ask him to tell her a story about the
love he and grandma shared, a smile would come to his face and he seemed to
light up like a firefly in the meadow. He would go on and on about her and all
she meant to him. She saw the pain he felt but she knew in his heart he
believed he would see her again someday. You can learn a lot from the older
people in your life, like what true love really means, and how giving up should
never happen. He told her so many things that she carries with her now that he
has joined grandma in a faraway place.
if you asked him what a perfect place is, he would squeeze her hand and
smile the greatest smile she had ever seenwww.facebook.com/mikeoconnor-author
