Grandmothers are a special part of growing up
Saturday February 5 2006
For this day i could use that expression "What a day!"
I never found myself saying that expression til today.
My mom woke me up at around 6AM
telling me that my grandma passed away
she also told me to get dress so i could go see my grandmother
i was sitting up in the dark
just stunned
thinking "holy shit..i wanted to go visit her today"
i opened my door to leave my room and I just saw my sister
there crying her eyes out
so i hugged my sister
i walked in my brothers room
he was getting dress telling me that when he saw grandma
that she looked really bad
but yeah i didnt see her for the past two days and felt
fucking guilty as hell about it
and i knew when i would go visit her that i would contemplate that i didnt want to do
something that would make me want to regret anything if she
passed away
but yeah i regret not visiting her
My mom, denise, billito, and I left the house going to my
aunt bettys house cause thats were my grandma was
my dad was already there
once we get there
it hit me
"my grandmas dead"
so then i started crying
usually alot of things hit me all late and whatnot
im sad shes gone and all but happy that she doesnt have to
suffer anymore..she is a strong woman
she fought the fight with everything she had
now shes in a better place with my GRANDPA
i miss them so very much
just like my tio mateo said "just the thought of never
seeing or talking to the person ever again is what gets you"
something like that
i just cant quote him on it
and the person you want to talk to the most is the person thats not here anymore
around 8ish AM the people from the funeral home took her
after that my family and i went to my grandparents house
walking into my grandparents house
just thinking wow..now both of them are gone
and i was wondering if it was the last time i would be
walking in this house
was this the last time my whole family would be together?
i hope not
i really love my dads side of the family
walking into the house and not seeing my grandmother or
grandfather just extremely sucks
cause they were just the life of the party at all family gatherings
but finally they are both together again and happy
i love you grandma and grandpa
may you rest in peace
