THE DREAM WILL COME TRUE

  She told me before dying that I had to come true her dream.  She never had the opportunity to have desires or ambitions. Her job was to stay at home and work for her family. She had accepted that and she loved her life, and everyone loved her.

But what anyone knew, was that she had inside a lot of dreams, dreams that she never would come true. She had an adventurous spirit that never could show to anyone, but that I have always perceived when I saw her eyes.

  My grandmother had a difficult life, but she never complained about that. She was happy with what she had and she didn´t need anything else. But her biggest secret dream was the only thing that she couldn´t do in her life. She wanted to travel around the globe. She had been years planning that journey, although she knew that she couldn´t do it. Six months, twenty countries, five continents, and a lot of illusion.

  That day, she was lying in her bed as every day. When she called me, I thought that she wanted just a glass of water or something like that. But what she wanted was something much more important.

  When she told me about to cry that I had to make her dream true, I didn´t know what to say or what to do. I just smiled and I promised her that I would do it, although I didn´t know how or when I had to begin. It was a hard decision, but finally, I decided to do it, because I thought that she deserved it.

  So here I am, in this plane. The plane that finally is going to do possible mi grandmother´s dream, and as she told me, I will send her one postcard every week, because although I don´t know how or where, I´m sure she´ll see every one of them.
