Samantha Li Great-grandfather

Age 8

5-8 year olds

This is my great-grandpa. He is 95 years old and lives in China. I have not seen him for three years now. I want him to come and visit me but Mum said, due to COVID and his age, he may not be able to take a plane anymore. He has a big turtle that is 35 years old. I secretly told the turtle in my dream that I wish he can bring my great-grandpa to see me, because I miss him!
