It was seven o'clock in the morning when I received my mother's call. I fell asleep in a daze. I reluctantly picked up the phone.
Said in a very impatient voice, Mom, what are you doing, I haven't gotten up yet.
Mom said, your grandpa passed away.
What kind of a sentence was that, I didn't react for a long time, and I stayed in the same place stupidly. I thought I had heard wrong.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Your grandpa passed away last night."
I am fully awake. Yes, the grandpa who loved me passed away.
The grandpa who I once said, Grandpa, I will pick you up to live in the city when I am rich, passed away before I became rich.
When I was in school, I was expected to be the top performer in my family. At that time, grandpa had put down the old idea of ??patriarchalism. Even though he had no money in his hands, he still lived frugally and secretly stuffed living expenses in my schoolbag every month. Those crumpled banknotes carried how much he expected.
When I grew up, I said to him, Grandpa, when I have money, I will take you to travel and live in the city.
Grandpa smiled and said, it is enough for you to have this kind of heart.
He passed away on Christmas Day 2020. After all, Christmas Eve did not bless him for a safe life. I hadn't spoken to him on the phone for a long, long time before he passed away. Because I have sadly forgotten my own dialect. I can't even understand what he said.
No one told me about his illness. I was created in an atmosphere where everything is good. Dreaming like a child. I haven't grown up yet, I haven't left yet.
The last time I saw him was three years ago. I can only feel his thinner face. Grandpa cried when he saw me. Because of that longing, he took my hand for a long time and couldn't let go. I know that because he is getting old, he wants more and more children and grandchildren to be around him. But I didn't do it. Even when he was away from home all year round, he didn't even bother to make a phone call.
Mom asked, are you coming back?
Almost no time to think.
"Back."
I have to go back to my grandpa's funeral. After hanging up with my mother, I immediately booked tickets online. Thinking of the time when I was with my grandfather when I was a child, the moist dark black appeared in my memory.
I always push those who love me farther and farther away. In the end, I was left alone to face the pain and parting.
Grandpa passed away. Many unfulfilled promises that I need to keep fulfilling.
May he be free from sickness and pain in heaven. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
