I wish I met you Grandma

Date: 8/18/2021

I was praying to my grandmother who passed away a long time ago. For background information, my parents made an altar with her picture on it to remember her by. Sometimes we pray for her guidance and protection, kind of like a guardian angel. As I was just doing that while placing the incense down in front of her picture, I heard her voice. It was very calm and sweet. I haven’t heard her voice since I was 8. To be honest, I never really physically met her because she lived overseas and my parents at the time were struggling financially so Buying a plane ticket to visit her was out of the question. Despite growing up without her presence, I did speak on the phone with her from time to time. Back then, we didn’t have things like “face time” so I never really saw her face in person either, only through pictures. However in my dream, I really did feel her presence. It was warm and loving. We talked about her childhood and laughed. I must’ve looked crazy because I was talking to my grandma’s picture on an altar but it didn’t matter because I was happy. We were happy. As we were talking, I noticed that her smile grew a little in the photo. The whole dream was bittersweet. Now when I pass by her alter in real life, I feel her smile, her warmth, and her presence.
