DEAR GRANDFATHER by: Allyn Tayone Mutia

Dear Grandfather Allyn Tayone Mutia It has been two years and I still remember. Everything that was said that cold night in September. We just came back from Vermont where we had a lot of fun. The minute we got home, the phone rang. The other line was quiet yet I felt my soul die. I gave the phone to my mom, she sat down and began to cry. I wondered what was wrong, if everything was going to be okay. Then she told the news that last night you had passed away. I went to my room and I began to cry. I did not understand why you had to die. I wondered why he had to take you away from me. I was sad because as I grew older, it was something you would not be able to see. I began to understand that it was just your time to go. I hope it is not too late to say and let you know. Grandfather, I love you with all of my heart. I know you are safe where you are and someday we will be together again. And we we will be no longer apart.
