Grandma's Wish

 Grandma’s  Wish

by Paul McCann

She loved her Grandchildren for years and as the grew she visited them once a week and they always loved to see her . She made gifts for them all with her own hands and bought them new clothes as they were all growing up .

Then something happening that she never expected , out of the blue her daughter in law wanted a divorce and in the awful events that followed she wasn’t able to see her grandchildren .

There wasn’t a day went where she never thought of them and it broke her heart that she wasn’t able to see her grandchildren ,

Her son  was devastated with the separation and his ex-wife’s control over the children . As the years passed the grandchildren rarely contacted their grandmother and their father and just before she passed away the grandmother send all the photos of her grandchildren back to her son .

In that final action it was clear that her grandchildren had finally broken her heart .

On her deathbed she wished that her son would find someone to make him happy and she died knowing the bitterness of losing her grandchildren and the effect of the divorce in her son’s marriage

The grandchildren came to the funeral of their grandmother and offered no apology or words of condolence for the loss of their grandmother . As they watched her coffin being carried away into the hearse the gentle voice of their grandmother was heard over the PA system in the church ,

“I love you all so much ”

No one but her grandchildren heard the voice . As her grandchildren returned to their cars they noticed their grandmother standing beside their cars looking at them and waving .There were tears rolling down her face and she said to each of her grandchildren 

“.I’ve missed you all so much and you never once visited or called to say hello .Now I cannot rest at peace and I cannot leave this world because of what you have done “

All her grandchildren were shaking with fear and began screaming out . When people came to ask them what was wrong they told them about the ghost of their grandmother but no one there saw anything .The grandchildren were haunted frequently and soon started to age . Their young features started to fade and thei was turning grey .

One by one they ended up in hospital and each of them had a visit from their grandmother who said ,

“ Life is so short , isn’t it sad when you’re young at heart but you look so old and grey and why did you forget to visit me when you had the chance ?”

One by one the children passed away from their unexplained sickness that made all too old before their time . At their funeral no one came but their mother who heard the voice of her children grandmother speak over the PA system . 

“Now they are mine and you cannot see them anymore and I cannot rest because of what you have done .“ 

The grandmothers wish came true m her son met a beautiful lady and they lived together happily .

THE END
