Grandpa

It was so long ago now but it is still as clear as a summers day. I remember you when mom died grandpa. your unshaven face and brown hard working hands. you fixed everything with your hands. But you fixed me with your love. you gave me mom's old room you told me it was her safe place andsaid she would visit me there. When she was settled in heaven. I told you I did not believe in heaven Grandpa.. You said it's alright I will one day. you said heaven was a different place for everyone. When I got hurt you always picked me up in your huge arms grandpa. You were always so safe so strong so good. I never told you I lied grandpa when I said I don't believe in heaven. You and grandma were my heaven. I know you have gone now to your heaven. Sat in a kitchen eating food from the old country. Grandma at the stove Mom on your knee listening to stories of Europe before the war. My heaven is with you guys grandpa. I think I will change my heaven to your heaven. That's all I want just our heaven Grandpa. I only wish there was a post office in our heaven and I could send this letter to you. All My Love Jude
