The Grandpa

As he walked by his childhood home, the memories came back to him. Julian was thirteen years old when he lost his grandpa. He was one of the most important people in the world to him. It was a tragedy for all of Julian’s family when he passed away. As Julian walked by the grave to share his last goodbye, tears started to run down his cheeks. It was very hard for him to not show weakness in front of the others around him. As he tried to stop the tears running down, the memories of his grandpa kept coming back to him. Once the ceremony was done, the tears were still there. As he was walking home, looking down, he realised that he had gotten lost. He found himself in the forest in which he used to walk with his grandpa. He ran away as fast as he could towards his home, trying to fade the pain away. As he arrived his mother hugged him hard and said that his grandpa was now in a better place. He ran to his room and laid down on his bed, trying to forget about it. A few minutes had passed when Julian’s grandma walked in and tried to make him feel better. She reminded Julian of how great of a man his grandpa was and that he would always be watching down on him. Julian figured out that his grandma was right, and although the pain was still there, Julian had to act like everything was alright.
