If I could change an event that happened in my life, I would change the day that my great grandma died. I mean, she was older and it must have been her time, but I still did not want her to die. She was such a loving woman. Even as she was slowly dying, she held me as I cried because I knew she was going to leave me. I remember being little and going to sleep over her house almost every weekend. She used to walk me around her apartments and show me to all of her friends. Then we would go back to her apartment and watch tv on her old fuzzy tv, and eat popcorn. Every time I slept over she used to paint my nails red so I could match hers. That is my favorite memory of her. Then she turned 90, and she was too old and sick to take care of herself so she got put in a nursing home. I visited her every Sunday after church for the next 4 years until she passed away, and now it hurts to even drive past it.
If my grandma was still alive and she never passed away, it would affect not only my life, but it would affect my entire family and family friends. My grandma touched so many peoples lives with her kind hearted personality, and her warming smile.

ReplyDeleteIt is always sad to know that the time we spend with those we love must come to an end. I think your great grandma would be proud of who you are.
