Grandpa was slowly arranging the lamps, carefully wiping the
dust, smiling once in a while, like being lost in distant memories.

A stray tear ran down his cheek as he felt the surface of a
white lamp, reflecting the ache in his heart.

Grandma had gifted those to Grandpa on every happy occasion,

The lamps that now beautifully stood on the shelf symbolized

Ah. The memories some little gifts hold. You are a writer of the heart, Rajlakshmi. This was beautiful.
So beautiful and it touched me!! Lovely 100 words!
every word counted. i felt the emotion that the story wanted to convey.
A very touching and well-written story. I enjoyed reading it.
This may (or may not be) a story, but it strikes a chord in all of us who has lost a dear one.
Love can be shown in ways that seem odd or even downright weird, but if the recipient recognizes them for what they show, it doesn't matter. A moving story.
