It is possible that you have in your mind that wonderful time when you were going to eat that special dish that you liked so much on Sundays. When your parents left you there to take care of you at times when they had to go to work. Or you just love remembering the smell of grandparents’ house that you smelled when you walked through the door. But what happens when the grandparents’ house closes forever?

Unfortunately, grandparents do not have eternal lives so that they can accompany us throughout life. They have lived much longer than us and their experiences have nurtured us into the people we are today. That is why, when we are by his side, we must absorb every second, because that time is a gift of life… and when we do not realize it, over the years we will only regret it.

the saddest moments

If you have had to live something like this, it is more than likely that you have felt it as one of the saddest moments of your life: when the door of the grandparents’ house closes forever. It closes because they are no longer, because their souls have already left our physical plane to move to the symbolic. We no longer see them, we do not touch them… we only feel them in the depths of our hearts.

When that door has been closed forever, the meetings of the family, of each and every one of the members, end. Grandparents were such an important point of union that kept you together in a special way… Those special Sundays where harmony, laughter, hugs and well-being were guaranteed are over.

The love of grandparents while they are present is what forges the strength of a family and the moment their door closes, it feels like everything they have forged for so many years of their lives simply falters.

our hearts ache

Our hearts ache when we realize that those afternoons of card games are over, of the grandmother in the kitchen preparing something delicious with the company of our parents… Those meetings with the cousins ​​at the grandparents’ house… Because their house was the best meeting point for everyone.

There was never a lack of love, affection, delicious food and a refuge to go to whenever our hearts desired it. It was a special environment… different, safe… impossible to find anywhere else in the world. There is no place where you can feel the same way you did at your grandparents’ house.

There was no need to go anywhere else. Going to the grandparents’ house was already the best experience for everyone. Nobody wants to accept that all this wonder has a deadline and that there will come a day when everything will be covered with dust. The laughter and the smell of delicious food will stay in your memory, because it will no longer be in front of you.

The best memories

But they will be your best memories. Time passes too quickly to focus on the trivial problems of life. Not long ago you were a child opening gifts under the Christmas tree, then you became a rebellious teenager and almost without realizing it you are a responsible person who has formed his family and who works every day to be able to move forward. Fighting so that your children also have those wonderful memories.

You still remember that your grandparents’ house could not miss the chairs, you never knew how many people were going to visit them on the same day. It could be a cousin, an uncle with a girlfriend, a neighbor or yourself. There were always cakes for visitors, no detail was ever missing.

When you closed your grandparents’ house, you were aware that you closed the best moments of your life… But you must also honor their memory and continue enjoying your family, repeat those scenes with your parents or with your grandchildren. Because the treasure of life is not made up of material things, but the people around you: your family.
