Flew

November (2) 1978

*one week later.
"I was only 15 years old and he was 18 when we first meet, our romance was my parents worst nightmare, but our fairytale." A small tear was falling down my grandmothers shin. "But we didn't care, we loved each other!"

During my whole childhood my grandma has always told me story's about my grandfather, I love it because I never got the chance to meet him. He died in a car accident when my grandmother were pregnant whit my dad, so my grandma raised my dad all on her own, til the man he is now, my role model!
Apparently my dad look just like his father but I'm not sure. I have seen a lot pictures of my grandfather because my grandmas wall is full of them. But I think that my dad looks more like his mother. They have the same blonde hair and bright blue eyes. My grandpa on the other hand had brown hair and hazel brown eyes. My dad always use to joke about his father not being his real father just because of the differences, but my grandma still thinks that my dad is his father's copy.
Me on the other hand, Laura, looks just like my father. So I guess I look like my grandma to then, and my grandpa if you look with my grandmothers eyes. Anyway, I'm just a regular 16 year old girl, that lives a normal and boring life in a small town. I don't have any interests, plans or dreams for my future, I just live through every day, go to school and then home again. Sometimes I visit my grandma on my way home from school just to listen to all of her story's about my grandfather that never seems to end. He really was the love of her life!
I love my grandma, but sometimes I feel bad for her because she lives all alone in a small and dilapidated house in the middle of nowhere. My grandma never meet someone new after my grandpa's death, apparently she felt like she was cheating on him if she started to date other people. So she chosed to be single and raise my father on her own.

I wish I could understand more when I hear my grandmothers stories. Don't get me wrong, I understand everything she is saying but I can't come across how it feels. I have never been in love, or even been on a date. When other people in my age have kissed half the town I haven't even been close to my first one. My mother always says to me that when I meet the right one, it will just happen and the wait will be worth it. But I don't know, I don't think my mother understands either, her and dad doesn't seem to be in love with each other. I have never seen them showing any loving emotions for each other, they just act like two colleagues who just wants to make money and live through the day, like two colleagues who live together. Their relationship isn't like my grandmother describes love! I just hope that if I find someone it will be like my grandparents relationship, adventurous and exciting, not like my parents.
