December is just around the corner, the hallacas and the lights of the trees are already noticeable, the sad part of all this show is that this will be one more Christmas without you, I only have your sweet memory, the words that come from my heart that I want to tell you grandmother, I miss you, Christmas is not the same without you.

I would like to go back in time, hug you tightly, prevent you from leaving, you left without warning, leaving a cold emptiness at home.

Today my heart leaps as I write, because I imagine that I send you a letter to heaven impregnated with the perfume of the love I feel for you, I sigh, I think of you, there are so many things I wish to tell you, my hand trembles and my heart is moved by just thinking of you.

I imagine that an Angel is coming for my letter to take it to you, my grandmother, this is my message to you.

Only God knows how much I miss you, the desire I have to see you again, hug you, laugh with you, listen to your riddles and sayings.

At home my mother always remembers you, especially at this time of the year, it is still hard to accept that you are gone, the family is no longer the same; I try to avoid looking at your chair, that space you used to occupy every day while you were talking to me and my sisters.

You know grandma, there are days when I wake up weighing you, then I close my eyes and I delight in those beautiful memories, because only in them I can embrace you again.

You can't imagine the crazy things I have done in my dreams when I dream of you, it seems unbelievable that you are alive, happy, beautiful, I don't want to wake up, I wish I had the power to stop it.

I remember that you always told me my little girl, my chelita, here I am grandma, the years have not passed in vain, your chelita grew up.

This will be another Christmas without you, the nice thing is that always when we are in family we remember your stories, jokes, your witticisms still make us laugh.

The day you left was a surprise, I was not prepared for that farewell, you fell asleep, I am not writing to complain to you grandma, you had to rest, today I want to thank you for so many beautiful memories for giving me so much love, I miss you and you know it very well.

I know you will no longer come to me, but don't worry grandma my time to travel to heaven will also come, I have safe tickets to the afterlife, I don't know when I will come to visit you, what is certain is that this day will be special, I will come to stay with you.

Time will pass, the years do not pass in vain grandmother, life is a breath that one day goes out, thank you grandmother your granddaughter Gracielita loves you.
