Letter to Grandpa

Hey there Grandpa,

I hope you are doing fine in heaven. How is everything out there? have you seen all the martyrs? How are they doing? Is it similar to what we have imagined down here? I've got a lot of questions to ask you. I hope you can answer me face to face. But that's just another useless wish i have. That's alright as long as I know you are doing great there.
You know, for the first time after you left this miserable place, I came to your most beloved village and you know, the first thing i did was visiting your grave. It was clean and very beautiful. I though to myself "this is where the world's greatest grandpa lies". Yknow, your house, our house is so empty when you are not around. I don't know what happened it was so damn empty. There's nothing to do but to visit your room. There's no one, even my grandma.
The last time I came to your house you were there to welcome me and shake my hands with a smile on your face.
And when you called out my name, God, I wish i could hear those voice just one more time again. You were not there to shake my hands and to offer me tea and warm water for me to take a bath. I know you are gone, but deep in my mind I was expecting all those things. But it's just a hopeless dream.  When I saw your winter shoe made of wool, it reminds me of the day you were actually there to wear those. I couldnot say a thing, my mind was blank and prayed to God,i hope he told you that.
When I looked out from the window, I saw all the same stuffs, the beautiful garden, i know everything was same.. but i don't know,yknow, it's not same at all. It was dry and there's no life in it. i couldnot even stepped my foot to it. It reminds me so much of you, how you spent most of your time in that garden. And the fence and everything, it was all made by you. I could not dare watched those things. i remember how i helped you dig a whole in that garden and i was too tired and you smiled at me. If I could turn back time, I would capture all those smiles you showed me.
And you know grandpa, I've finally got a new job which I believed you would be proud of. I wish I could tell you face to face and watch your expressions.  And about granny, she's doing fine and i know you will be very worried about her, but don't be, God is taking care of her.
Anyway, I hope you get this letter and I know you are watching us all the time. So, You take good care of yourself and hope to meet you on the otherside.Love You grandpa.
