Hey Granny

Hii Granny,

It’s Samuel… the last to say goodbye.

Thank you for lighting up my childhood.

The nights you told me stories were the brightest part of my days.

Because of you, I know why the tortoise shell is broken, why the tortoise is slow, why dogs and cats live with men…

I will hold those stories as truth, always.

Probably, tell my kids and grandkids same stories

Thank you for loving my mum the way you did. She loves me the same way, and it is beautiful.

She always listened to me, even when no one else could convince her.

Thank you for the morning prayers and the “happy new month” messages… even when I didn’t always reply.

You called me your favorite grandson

I never understood why, but you loved me anyway, despite everything.

Our last moments will stay with me.

I felt you slipping away, and it broke me… but I still didn’t reach out.

I thought I could live with that pain, but I couldn’t yet I know you forgave me.

I love you. And I promise I will take care of your daughter, just like you asked.

Goodbye, Granny.
