A visit to heaven

"Go, you have to go it's not your time yet". said Richard's grandmother.
Richard was a boy who was born into a very humble but hardworking family.
His parents worked a lot, his mother worked in agriculture and his father in construction.
So that his parents could work, Ricardo stayed with his maternal grandparents.
"Come on Richard, get up, we have to go to the grandparents' house, I have to go to work and your father too" said Richard's mother in her ear trying to wake him up and wrap him in a woolen blanket.
Richard's mother took him in her arms and made the beeline for his parents' house, until they were Richard's maternal grandparents.
When he arrived at his grandparents' house, Richard would always crawl into their bed to be surrounded by their warmth and comfort.
"Go ahead, he's going to sleep some more," Cristina, Richard's grandmother, told his mother.
"Thank you" replied Richard's mother
Richard's grandparents were called Cristina and John, and the years went by, Richard grew and grew, but he always stayed at his grandparents' house so that his parents could work, when he was about fourteen or fifteen years old he started to spend the night in grandparents house .
"Come on, Richard, help." Richard heard his grandmother call out to him.
Richard quickly arrives in the room where his grandfather and grandmother were and sees his grandfather John lying on the floor without speaking.
"I'll get him up," Richard told his grandmother.
Richard lifted his grandfather John from the bedroom floor with a lot of effort because the weight was great and the strength was not much, they called the ambulance and his grandfather went to the hospital, unfortunately a few days later came the news that his grandfather had passed away.
The days went by, he had to learn to live without his grandfather, and Richard started to keep his grandmother company so that she wouldn't be alone and would keep him company.
As a teenager Richard had a few girlfriends, but nothing serious, it was then that he met someone special.
"Grandma, I have a girlfriend," Richard told his grandmother in a shy but convincing way.
"You do well, it's part of life, what matters is being happy." Richard's grandmother replied, giving him a thoughtful kiss.
Days passed to years and suddenly two years passed and a new novelty appeared.
"Grandma, I'm getting married" Richard said to his grandmother, this time even more shy, but determined to move on.
"You know what a responsibility it is, if you're ready I'll be by your side."
So it was, the days passed and they waited for the wedding preparations for Ricardo and his fiancée Susana, and very quickly the very special wedding day arrived.
The wedding went well, friends, family all together celebrating this special moment, Hawaiian music, food, drink and lots of fun until dawn.
After getting married, Richard moved with his wife Susana to a new house and his grandmother lived alone, but there wasn't a day that they didn't talk, always on the phone and once or a few times a week he went to visit her.
"Richard the phone is ringing go pick it up" he said to his wife.
Richard's grandmother became very ill shortly after the wedding and was diagnosed with cancer.
Looking at his cell phone, he sees that his mother is calling him.
"Grandmother died" said Richard's mother from the other side
Tears streamed down his face, the feeling of sadness invaded his body and his mind.
At the burial she appeared to be lying in the coffin and that she was still alive, but she wasn't anymore.
As he approached the coffin, Richard uncovered his grandmother's face and gave her a big kiss on her dear, icy cheek and said, "I love you grandmother, thank you for everything you've done for me."
Days and years passed, Richard joined the security forces and on duty. When it was time to rest Richard closed his eyes lying on the bed and felt himself levitate, leaving his body.
He could see her body lying on the bed and felt himself flying through a tunnel that grew longer and longer.
At the end of that tunnel an intense light like fire and suddenly everything turned white, Richard felt nothing but calm, he felt at peace.
"I'm here Richard I'm fine" he heard his grandmother's voice
Looking to the side, she was beside him in a white robe.
The two walked together through that white scene of peace.
"Don't worry, don't cry anymore, here I am at peace, from here I accompany you, you are not alone, I will be by your side." said the grandmother.
In this place there is no time, there are no worries, there is great tranquility.
"You already know where I am, now you have to go, your time hasn't come yet" said the grandmother, saying goodbye and going further and further away.
Richard feels himself traveling back through the tunnel, he can see his body lying on the bed and it comes back to him, he opens his eyes and smiles, now he knew his grandmother was fine and with him forever.
