Connection to the past

A few minutes ago, I finished watching the movie called 'Everything is Illuminated'. While watching the movie, I burst into tears when it was less expected,when the characters were being fun. The movie is about a boy searching for his ancestors in Ukraine. The movie made me remember my grandma,who died back in 1999. She was one of a kind. She was the most compassionate woman I have ever met. She was a friend to me and my brother. When it was summer holiday and school was over, we used to look forward to seeing my grandmother and staying with her for at least a month. Those days were the happiest time of my life. She used to buy whatever my brother and I asked for. The food, the clothes and everything. She was the one giving us pocket money. And thanks to her, we have hilarious childhood memories. Her house was like the sanctuary for my small family and after she passed away, nothing seemed the same. The house was as if no one lived there anymore and I started to not wanting to go there anymore because I wanted to remember that house just like my grandma left it.
I miss you a lot my dear. We all miss you. It's been 10 years since you left us but it is the same pain and emptiness inside whenever I think of you.
Rest in peace.
We all love you.
