Where are you?

Grandmother,

Are you still there...?
I can't hear your voice anymore...where are you?
It's so dark here now.

The safe haven you always provided.
It is gone now.

You were lonely.
I understand.
I feel alone too sometimes.
Being without family.
I chose for this.
You never did.

I'm so sorry I was not there.
To cheer you up.
To hold your hands.
Like you held mine so many times.

I'm so sorry I was not there.
Always traveling.
Always too busy.
Always ... so far away...

So you decided to leave.
You didn't tell me you were going to?
If you did I would not be here.
Why, grandmother?

I wish I could see you just one more time.
But I understand you were too tired.
I could feel your loneliness.

I will miss you grandmother.
Be safe...be warm ...
...you are not lonely anymore...
...never again.
