My grand-mother passed away on January 4, 2010. She was the closest family member of mine other than my parents, so I didn’t take it very well.
She died because she was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2008. I remember January 4, 2010 because I was there with my cousin, aunt and mom when she passed away, my cousin and I were in the room when it happened. We couldn’t believe what were seeing we thought it was our imagination, but it wasn’t. My cousin and I have gotten closer since it happened. We talked to her she could hear us, but she couldn’t say anything to us, it was pretty hard seeing her like this, I could barley stay in the room.
On her visitation we got to see her all dressed up in the coffin, it looked like she about to wake up and just give me a hug. My younger cousin drew a picture for her and we put it by the coffin. My best friend came to the visitation with her mom so that was special to me.
At her funeral I couldn’t help, but cry my mom told me it was going to be okay, but I didn’t believe her. A lot of my friend’s mom’s came for me and my mom. My grandpa didn’t even look like he was crying I couldn’t believe that he couldn’t cry, but I knew before at one time he most likely did.
Now her birthday is coming up on September 18 it’s going to be hard, she loved butterflies and I want to let a lot of them go on that day. And whenever we see a butterfly we say it’s her and she’s going to bring us good luck!
I love you nana:)
