PRICELESS ~ A LETTER TO MY GRANDPA
Dearest Grandpa,
It has been almost three years since I haven’t seen you. Hope you are happy there.
And I...I miss you. I have got a zillions of questions in my brain to ask you ...but I can’t . Because I know you ain’t gonna write me back...
Last night was heavy . I slept at 2 am ;with my head burning and eyes filled with tears. I was missing you . I miss you a lot sometimes. I still remember the last time I touched your feet before you left for the hospital . You went . Your body came back . You didn’t.
Hey look! Your grand daughter is going to high school now . Won’t you come at least for one last time to bid her a goodbye for the first day ?
When you last saw her , she was 5’1 . She is 5’6 now . Do you appreciate this height? Wont you like to see her this tall?
She is playing taekwondo ! A three time gold medallist . She had once got hurt in fire tile breaking and the mark is still there. Won’t you come and ask her how that happened?
Her literature works are always getting published in the school yearbook . Won’t you congratulate her for that?
She is into English music now . People say sometimes I suck in singing Hindi songs but I sing English too well. She has developed a natural American accent . Won’t you listen to it?
Do you miss our TOP SECRET TALKS? Do you miss our fights for the TV remote that we used to have sometimes? Do you miss how I always came beside you and cried and complained when mom and dad scolded me?
I know you will not answer. Neither you’re gonna come for one last time . But I’ll miss you . and I know you’re always there for me. I love you to infinity and beyond.
Yours,
Raj
To all the people reading , if you are too much busy in you daily life work routine and in the race of success , don’t forget to spend time with the ones you love. The ones who loved you since you were nothing . All humans will close their eyes forever one day . Earn money , but don’t get so much indulge in that , that you don’t get time with your beloveds. Money is money . But the love of your family and friends is PRICELESS.
