It was a lonely day for me. No one to talk to and no one to play with. I often thought about the times when I was a little child lying on my mother's lap as she sings to me a lullaby that ran through my family. I would think about the games I played with my brothers and sisters. The things that made me laugh and cry.
Things that could never be repeated nor forgotten.
Later on a voice came calling and it was from my grandmother
"Elizabeth, I told you to fix your thing you know very well that you need to go to your apartment"
"Sorry Grandma I just thought about my childhood years"
"Elizabeth you know things change that nothing remains"
"Oh how I wish I could still be a child when my parents were still alive"
Suddenly I felt tears running down and pictures started to fly in my mind about the accident we had 6 years ago.
"My grandchild, I know very well how hard it is for you to forget those things but still be positive and try to study hard so that when you grow up you could be successful"
"Ok Grandma but I promise to visit you someday"
I started to pack all of my things until I was ready to go and after that I waved good bye to my grandmother. I reached my apartment and afterwards I went to the school I was supposed to go. I studied hard and I took good care of myself so that when I become successful my grandmother would be happy for me.
Days, weeks and years passed and everyday was a busy day for me. I couldn't even visit my grandmother any more until the day of my graduation arrived. It was a happy day for me and I decided to visit my grandmother.
"Grandma, Where are you?"
I tried to knock on the door once more but no one answered so I decided to open it since the duplicated key to my grandmother's house was still with me and there as I opened the door I saw a treasure chest. It was full of books and albums for me but there was something special that caught my eyes and it was a letter from my grandmother.
Dear Elizabeth,
I know it was a hard for you to go away and pursue your studies like what you have said you still want to be a child. I know for sure that today you have finished your studies and later on you would try to find a job that would make you successful. I just hope that when that day happens you would still remain your own self. I would like to tell you that on the day of your last visit I was already struggling some pain that I don't know but I remained to be silent for you not to worry about me. For you to always remember about me and your family I placed in this chest all of the memories that I could collect. Stop crying now and try to smile your sadness away.
Love,
Grandma
I managed to washed away my tears and tried to looked at the pictures and other remembrance that was there. And when I reached the bottom there was a camera with some writing on it.
Do not forget about those happy memories you had and make more memories with the use of this camera. I love you little princess.
Love,
Mommy
After checking all of the thing in the treasure and getting the most important ones I went out of the house, closed it and waved good bye. Now I put in my mind that this would be a new beginning with more memories to make.
