"Granny please come with us!" Lina pleads with her. Granny lays in her bed, ill.

"I'm ill, I can't!" Granny says to her beloved granddaughter.

"Granny, I can't leave you here!" Lina and Poppy are ready and packed up to meet at the town square in just a few minutes. "Granny hurry!" Granny falls back on her bed.

"Lina listen to me. I am ill and dying. There is no point okay? Go and live a life in a place, and do it for me. Now go." Granny's eyes brim with tears as do Lina's.

"I will never forget you. I love you granny." Lina picks up Poppy, too young to understand her surroundings.

"And I love you Lina," Lina looks at her dying granny one last time before walking out the door of her apartment and shop and heads towards the square. Goodbyes are hard.
