The Piano

I am a kind old man that is very good at the piano. I know that I am getting old now and I might die soon so I am going back to some of my memories that I can remember. As I am playing the piano I start to remember My wife that past away from cancer 8 years ago. I also start to remember when we went on holiday to Fiji it was lovely there we had a nice time together, we went diving together and found lots of cool shells. I look beside me and I imagine My wife playing the piano next to me. I think of some times like when I went to war and I saw my brother die, It was terrible my own brother was dying in my arms I tried to help him but it was too late. Meanwhile I feel sad and I want to remember some happy times, I remember for my 7th birthday my dad got me my own ride on horse it had a nice fluffy soft mane with eyes that looked like they were real. As soon as I had opened it I new that it was the present I had ever got. Unfortunately my dad past away not that long ago I can remember my dad giving it to me and the big smile he had on his face was a nice way to remember him. Playing and playing the piano I start to remember my mum, she was a lovely old lady she would give me the tightest hugs in the world my face would go bright red. My mother also died it wasn't a disease or anything she just got really sick she couldn't walk and she could barely talk. So we took her to hospital and from there she past away. Luckily I have my grandson to keep me company since I love him so much I handed my ride on horse to my grandson he loves it evan tho it is not like a scooter that they have now it is still the best present ever. I start to remember some more memories like when my grandson was only little and he was just born he was the most lovely thing ever. I also start to remember the day me and my wife got married it was so beautiful we got to go in a limo away for tea we had all our family and friends come we had every sort of lolly for desert  and we had every type of ice cream for dessert and we had really yum stuff for tea I really miss having my wife around but I can suck it up. As I am remembering the wedding I also start to remember the day that my wife died that was heartbreaking I remember being away from her for 2 weeks and then I went to go see her and she wasn't in her room so I asked the people behind the desks. I asked where is my wife they said what is her name I said lucy i'm sorry but she past away last night I burst into tears and walk away. I can't really remember any other things and start to get tired so I stop playing and leave. But I think of one more memory so I jump back on my piano before bed because this is a really good memory it was when I owned a farm with all sorts of animals there were fat ones small tiny ones and big ones lots of them I need to go to bed soon so I stop and go to sleep good night.
