Memories of a lifetime

PHOTO PROMPT © Magaly Guerrero

Baby A had a premonition , she refused to attend her own birthday party.

The family members were too excited to pay heed to the warning and wanted to celebrate in style.The party did take place and everything was fine, Baby A needn’t have worried much.

Exactly a week later, causes unknown her granddad breathed his last. A massive heart attack it was proclaimed by the medical team who were unable to save him.

Except for a few photographs here and there she doesn’t have much of him.Looking at his pair of shoes, she reminisces, had you been here, I’d seen you grow old, but you’ll remain forever young in all our hearts.Memories of him she doesn’t have much, but the love he shared with her holds her as a strong woman even after so many years of his parting.

You guessed it right : This is an ode to my very own granddad (Ajja) with whom I share a special relationship. Please forgive me for I’ve exceeded the word count, but I couldn’t think of anything else but this story when I saw this photo. Also I’ve ignored the fact that the shoe has pointed heels.
