chapter twenty four

Well I did plan on making few arrangements with mom regarding today which was for grandpa cause today was his twentieth death anniversary which by this time all year gram's reminisce on what they shared, although she usually spends the day all by herself and all but I guess I just wanted a change this year; which made me hope Dad could be here on time to at least support her as a source of strength to her and I did try calling him already which only showed out of coverage which made me wonder where exactly he could clearly be now, cause soon I would be taking gram's to the cemetery to see Grandpa's grave which she usually loves to be alone there.

Soon it was two in the afternoon and much to my surprise Dad was still not here yet which made me a bit upset at his behavior even though I knew he must be going through something himself, but I couldn't help but ask what was so important than being here for his own father's anniversary ceremony which he knew gram's clearly held every year; we arrived at the cemetery soon and found mom already there sitting while a beautiful flowers was already placed at the grave site and she walked up to gram's and hugged her while slowly leading her towards the grave, she was much defined and elegant than the last time I saw her which made me walked towards her and held her hands while she slowly settled gram's down and hugged me.

I felt so comfortable in her embrace which made me wish only if Dad was here to make us a complete family; soon we sat with gram's there while a priest came over and started reciting psalms while praying over his already deceased soul to continue enjoying rest where ever he is, I guessed other than me mom and gram's did miss him alot which made them both sat there quietly watching the grave even though mom and gram's never shared a momemt ever since I could recall but grandpa seems to be an integral part of them, after a while I saw mom walked towards her and invited her to come join us for dinner which she clearly declined and waved us goodbye after which we got moving towards Mom's.

Getting to Mom's house wasn't pretty hard though a bit far from gram's but it wasn't hard while she drop at the market to get some stuff which she would need, I walked into my room which she showed me and went for the bathroom to shower after which I got a text from the guys which I got lost in chatting them forgetting about the time; soon mom came and called me to come help her set up the table which I gladly did and we both were busy arranging the place when the door bell rang and mom left to get, soon she walked back inside with Dad behind her which made me run towards him and hugged him tighter.

Like really I never knew I could forgot about my grudge which I had towards him by the afternoon this early only by seeing him; but I did and he placed his hand on my shoulder while slowly patting me back which made me smile radiantly at him, while mom slowly walked towards her seat and asked us to take our seat while she brought out the food which she made, she made all my favourite which made me became more hungry by the display delicacy before me and soon we're already settled at the table and having our meal while Dad kept telling us about his travel adventures.
