That star in the sky

Maria loved spending afternoons at her grandfather's country house, listening to his magical stories about dragons and stars. But one day, her mother told her that her grandfather had gone to the sky forever. Maria didn't understand where he went, and why he had to leave. Her mother tried to explain, saying he was now a star watching over her. Maria felt confused and missed her grandfather terribly.

Maria wanted to find a way to talk to her grandfather in the sky. She thought, if she could only reach the stars, she could tell him how much she missed him. But every time she looked at the sky, the stars seemed so far away. The distance felt like an unbreakable wall between them. Her little heart ached with longing.

Maria decided to write a letter to her grandfather, hoping the stars would carry it to him. She poured her heart into the letter, sharing every memory and feeling. But when she tried to send it, the wind blew it away, scattering her words across the garden. She felt helpless and defeated.

Feeling hopeless, Maria sat on the porch, thinking she would never feel close to her grandfather again. She wondered if she should stop trying to reach him. Tears welled up in her eyes as she remembered his laughter and stories. The night seemed darker than ever.

One evening, Maria's mother joined her on the porch. She shared a story about how the stars always shine, even when clouds cover them. This gave Maria an idea. Maybe she could see her grandfather's star in a new way. She realized that even if she couldn't reach the stars, she could still feel their light.

With her mother's words in mind, Maria began to find solace in the stars. She started talking to them every night, feeling her grandfather's presence in their glow. Slowly, her sadness turned into warmth. She knew he was always with her, in the sky and in her heart.
