5 Years and Mistakes

What will I do 5 years from now?
For whom will I cry in my sleep and why?

My grandma died 5 years ago and lately I have those childhood memories dreams, where I go back in time, enjoying the summer holidays with my grandma in a tiny village, eating her lovely food, playing in the back garden. And then I realise I'm not a fearless happy child anymore, I'm an adult who wants to go back in time, stay there and never ever grow up.
I wake up while crying, I love her so much and I miss her so much, and I'm so ashamed I wasn't there on her funeral, I try not to hate myself thou, but I know I'm an ungrateful idiot.
Mistakes which you can never correct, think twice before you make a decision!

Photograph Memories

These photos tell of days gone by. Looking back at the memories we have created. Holding back the tears with mournful sighs. People missing from everyday life their absence understated.

Grandma's Rug

#youngwritershousehold The rug sits there, Plain to see, My grandma wove it, Just for me. She wove it, With love and care, And the day before she died, She placed it there.

Memories #1

There was an air of emptiness when I went to see you today Just seeing you there with the flowers that lay You looked so peaceful and serene The hour passed in a state like a dream.

Skip!

What is it all for if everything you own ends up in a skip. When your possessions and things end up in the tip. Went back to my late nans house today.

Dear Grandad,

I miss you lots and lots and lots. I remember how you used to call me pretty and tell me stories of your wild childhood. If only you could tell me those stories now.
