In life, I have lost several valuable things and have been unhappy at times. However, nothing can be compared with the sorrow that I came through when I knew that my grandfather, the person I love most in the world, passed away.As I can still remember very clearly, it was a September morning in my first year in university that received a telegram.

Therefore, since his death, I have taken greater care of my close relatives, especially my family and have tried to express my affection towards them so that never again I will have to regret.As time passes, it with ease my grief and the wound of losing him in my heart will gradually be healed. However, from the bottom of my heart. I know that forever the scar will stay and leave a hole in soul because "to the world, he is only one person, but to me, he is the world".
