Turn on the light on the porch, my child!
_But we are about to sleep mom!
_Open, I feel the day growing with the light! __
_Why is it night – again? How quickly it gets dark! the grandmother whispers. I should take my pills for the night…
_You have to mom, her daughter answers her. I have them there, next to your bedside table. The grandmother continues to ask the daughter.
_Should I go outside to see the flowers?
_At such a time, mother, will you see the flowers?
_Hey kid, I want to get some air. The evening is pleasant. It's not windy like other times, so I'll take a walk, from one end of the terrace to the other. Is it that hard?
_Mom, it's almost midnight...
_So what? the grandmother answers. I'll walk slowly, I won't make a fuss, I want to see the cats too! As soon as I go out, they come and rub against my legs. To talk to them a little... to caress them... I missed them...
_Mom, even cats sleep at this time! _
_E.. then let me see the lamps that light up in the streets. Maybe I'll see a passer-by. I want to see a man…
_Mommy!!! Who do you want to see at a time like this?
_My child, I'll have a little nap before I go to sleep. All day locked in the house, I think the ceiling will collapse. Don't you understand?
_Well, haven't you had enough time to go out and have fun all day?
_I went out in the morning, but the sun was burning and I couldn't see...
_Hey mom, it's getting close to midnight, I told you, come lie down. Tomorrow is God's day again.
_I know where God is, but I'm drowning I tell you...
_Do you want me to give you a glass of milk to calm down?
_Do you think I don't have peace of mind, girl?
_Yes mom, because dawn is coming in a few hours and if you keep talking the sun will come out!
_Well, at least I should call the cats to say good night.
_Mom, cats, dogs, people, they all sleep at night, what don't you understand?
_You are right my child... I understand..
_But if you understand, why don't you listen to what I'm telling you all this time?
_I know, I've tired you, take me to an institution, I won't be a burden to you anymore... continues the grandmother.
_Now we will open discussion night time about institutions mom?
Mom - grandma, shut up... She walks slowly - slowly dragging her slippers towards her room.
After all, everyone sleeps at home, in the morning they have work, endless work.
He didn't go out to see the night flowers, he didn't go out to pet the cats, he didn't go out to see any passerby from the balcony of the house.
With complaint, she said to her daughter _You are right my child.. Good night...
Returning with difficulty to her room she approached her window. She looked up at the sky, seeing the stars twinkling so brightly that she thought for a moment that if she stretched out her hands, they would come into her arms.
She took a deep breath and returned to her bed.
Closed within the four walls, the hours that passed seemed like centuries to her. Sometimes she turned her pillow this way and that, but sleep had forgotten her tonight...
Praying in a low voice that the grandmother would not worry her relatives, shortly before dawn, she felt a cool breeze coming in from her half-closed window. She then slowly pulled back her covers feeling an unprecedented relief and closed her eyelids.
It wasn't long before the golden sun smiled upon her, sending its morning rays illuminating her calm face as well as her entire room.
But the grandmother did not open her eyes this time.
Travel to heavenly places! Where she didn't have to be confined to four walls all day. Nor should she talk all the time and become tiresome. Not forgetting her medication, not needing to be nursed like a baby and tire her daughter.
She traveled to places in Paradise, where it was always day and she didn't care if it got dark...
He was returning to places with beautiful flowers, the like of which he had never seen before!
Somewhere - somewhere she was petting the beautiful cats she met while walking comfortably in the flower gardens of the sky, smiling happily!
Here and there he glanced down at the veranda of her house, but he didn't long for her.
Now he had vast verandas to serenade as long as he wanted without restrictions and see angels bright!
Now he was drinking water from full-flowing waterfalls of Paradise!
Now she had the skies as her home!
