After continuous days of rain, seeing rays of sunshine when I got out of my office building that evening took me by surprise. I bought red chrysanthemums on my way back home and got myself busy with the flowers, the camera and the spray-bottle of water as soon as I'd dropped my bags in the room. I didn't even go to greet you in your room because...I didn't know. My little sister later came to tell me that you were asking if we had arrived home. I smiled, because I was touched. You could barely talk as you had to catch your breath every two seconds but you were still worried about us: your grown-up granddaughters who were so ignorant about how time was precious. I knew you'd been sick for a while and time was running out for you but I didn't know how fast. I was so worried about the daylight being gone as the sun was setting so quickly that I wasn't aware of your light going dim with every difficult breath you took. I later went into your room but I wish I had gone to see you as soon as I got home that day. I wish I'd spent more time with you that evening: the last evening of your life. I wish I knew that you'd be leaving us the very next morning.
I skipped my photo challenge that week even though I had the photos because they reminded me of that day. It's almost been a month and I've managed to look at the photos again. I've even decided to edit and upload them, but I still remember you all the same. I'll always miss you, Grandpa.
