My Diary

Dear Diary,
Yesterday I had one of the best days I have had in a long time. Probably, one of the best ones
of my life. Today we went to a concert. It wasn't just a usual concert, it was my grandad's
show!! He went to this competition with his choir group. Well, it was my grandmother's one,
but after she passed away, he joined it too, in memory of her. The incredible thing was that he
was the one that sang the solo at the end of the performance. I was amazed at how he sang
this well-known song called 'Lullabye' in front of hundreds of people. It was sweet of him to
do it in memory of grandma, as she did to him in the previous phase of the competition. It
was calm after the storm. For everyone, were someone to tell them months ago, they
would have said that they were truly insane.

I reckon that this radical change of attitude of my grandad also got me by surprise. Not only
in the music area but also in his behavior towards people. It is unbelievable how the death of
my grandmother has transformed him. Just a few weeks ago, he was a gloomy man. He only
wanted to go to the pub with his friends and take care of his wife. The idea of him singing
was ridiculous from his perspective. Or even worse, in front of people. But all this changed
when my grandmother was fighting for her life. Her last desire was to get the group inside the
competition. From this moment, he compromised himself to support her. Due to this reason,
it brought him close to Elizabeth. She was his bright spark on this transition. I wonder
what he would have done without her.

On the other hand, the combination of all these good events led to a reconciliation between
my dad and my grandfather. After months or even years of being distant from each other, my
dad saw a massive change. They finally made up. He showed him that he reconsidered his
manners. He admitted his missteps. Doing something that he wasn't comfortable doing in the
past was his way of saying sorry. Even tho, the death of my grandma was a tragic event,
every cloud has a silver lining.

I must confess that these past weeks were tough for my family. The loss of my grandmother
was a rough thing to assume. I think all we needed was time off to digest this news. The
memories still came up in my head when my grandma and I were cooking chips in the
kitchen. I was on cloud nine at that time.

I just hope that from now on, everything will get better. I think my family and I deserve it.
Also, I hope that no matter what happens, the good relationship between dad and grandad
lasts for a long time. Also, I wish that he continues singing. I really think that he has talent. It
is very positive for him to be interacting with people on a daily basis.
Well, my Dear, I have to go now. Life goes on and I still need to finish some homework. I
wish I could stay here writing about my special day for hours and give you a more detailed
update.
See you later!
