Long ago

"Grandpa!!!" young Isabelle screeched out, while running up to the house to hug him.

"Hey sweetheart. You're not giving your mother trouble are you?" he says as he reaches down to hug her small body.

"No grandpa! I'm a good noodle I swear!" He chuckles and Isabelle looks up at him staring at his white beard and baldhead.

"Where is your mother at, dear?" he utters quietly, while finally letting go of her body and grabbing her tiny hand to leading her inside the house.

"She dropped me off really fast because she had to go meet her boyfriend. Mommy said to tell you she said hi." Naïve Isabelle says quite loudly while walking around the large living and finally settling down on the sofa.

Grandpa looks at me with sad eyes "You're a splitting image of your mother, Izzy."

"Grandpa?" Izzy answers.

"Yes honey?" He replies with so much emotion in his voice.

"Why do you live in this big house all by yourself?" Isabelle asks curiously looking at her grandpa then turns to television.

"It wasn't always this empty. People grow up and leave, sometimes you wish they can come back but it's not up for you to decide."

"Why are you so alone grandpa? Why don't you have someone?" Isabelle looks at her granddad, giving him her full attention.

"Because the women I love, is in a better place. But I have you, dear and that is all I need." he replied with a small smile.

''Will I be alone Grandpa?" she asks quietly with a sad tone.

"No, one day you will find someone and they will love you till the day you die." he says, tears coming out of his eyes

"Why are you crying? Don't cry because of me grandpa." Tears almost falling out of her big brown eyes.

"You will be a beautiful young lady when you are older and I can already see it." Isabelle's grandpa says while hugging her tightly.
