Ajoba - Nostalgia

In the depths of her Memory Box, she uncovered a trove of forgotten treasures: a dusty set of letters, signed by 'Ajoba'. With each delicate stroke of the faded ink, memories stirred like echoes from a distant past, casting a bittersweet spell over her soul.Transported back to her childhood, she recalled the monthly ritual of eagerly awaiting Ajoba's letters, each one a cherished connection to her beloved grandfather. Within the pale blue envelopes lay not just words, but tokens of love—white sugar balls, gently packed with affection.Yet, as time marched on, a somber note crept into their correspondence, marking the onset of her grandfather's illness. Undeterred, she continued to write, her words a lifeline of love and solace amidst the gathering shadows.Now, as she traced the contours of the letters, a tear escaped her eye, mingling with the dust of forgotten dreams. But amidst the sorrow, there lingered a faint smile—a testament to the enduring bond between granddaughter and grandfather, woven together by love and memory.
