“My grandmother never had a mobile, but she knew how to listen to me better than anyone…”
She didn’t have WhatsApp, a selfie camera, or a clue how to make a video call.
But when I spoke, she looked me in the eyes… and I felt like my whole world mattered.
She didn’t use filters, yet her face shone brighter than any screen.
She didn’t send emojis, but a squeeze of my hand said, “It’ll all be alright.”
She never wore earbuds because her ears were always open to me.
She never typed “I love you” in a text. She said it every morning with a hot cup of tea and quiet moments shared.
Now, I miss her more than any notification ping.
Because modern life gave us a thousand ways to stay connected,
yet sometimes we forget how to truly listen.
This isn’t a trending post. It’s just the truth.
