I am at my grandparents house. I sit down. Grandma is not there. Grandpa, mom ,and dad are the only ones there. I am in the kitchen of my grandma Lucy. I sit down thinking something happened to my grandma Lucy. My parents were not acting normal. I notice that my grandpas face is red like he had been crying. I ask mom, is grandpa ok ? Mom tells me yeah he is fine.
"Where is grandma?" I ask loudly, and scarily.
" Um well hon the thing is something happened to grandma Lucy, that you would not understand at your age." mom states!
"JUST TELL ME,TELL ME PLEASE I DON'T CARE HOW UPSETTING IT IS. I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY GRANDMOTHER!" I scream! My mom tells me she is in the hospital and has a disease called Cancer!
" Will she be okay?" I ask. I hope so my mom tells me.
" Can I see her mom?" I plead! My mom tells me NO she is in very bad condition. I do not want you to see her honey.
" When can I see her?" I ask. In a few days my mom tells me!!! When I see her I hug her, kiss her and start crying.Then I start dancing. I have always loved dancing.
A FEW MONTHS LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom calls me into the other room.
" Hon I have bad news." mom states.
"What has happened mom?" I ask.
" Grandma" is all she tells me!!
" Grandma WHAT???????" I plead.
" Grandma died!!!" she sighs.
"Grrrrrrraaaaaannnnddddmmmmaaaaa died?" I plead.
" Yes mom says!!
I CRY FOR A LONG TIME!!!
Wow, really emotional story Melissa! Your side comments were also very helpful to understand your reaction as this happened to you, helping us as the reader to get a better image of what happened. I can really personally understand your loss, especially cause I too lost my grandmother a few years ago, which later lead to some other conflicts in the future. Nice memoir!
ReplyDeleteThat was a touching story. I feel like i could relate to it. My grandpa died, but not because of cancer. I love all the dialogue in it and the use of the capitol letters and explanation points proves your point really well. I can tell you had a connection with your grandma and i am sorry for your loss. Anyway, Great job!!!
