The day I lost her changed my view on life forever. Usually after 11 years my memory

of the time she was alive would be gone but I remember everything that happened with

her the only thing is I can’t remember her face or her voice which is what I yearn to

remember. Every time I go to sleep I think god’s going to put her voice or her face in a

dream so I could experience it one more time but he doesn’t. Honestly god did a lot of

stuff that I wasn’t happy about when it came to her.

My grandmother was the most god-fearing lady I knew and she made sure she went

to church and read her bible and had her grandchildren reading the Bible and going to

church. I always wondered after all of this why would He give her breast cancer like

literally so mind boggling. She went through so much pain before going to heaven and

even after she moved in with my mom it just got progressively worse. I always

remembered praying for her and thinking the next day she would be better but that

never happened. I started seeing her smile fade and her whole aura just change . This

really caused me to do anything to try to make her smile. I love my grandmother so

much that this loss caused me to always wonder why to everything in life. But what I

can say is this tragic event in my life definitely made me try to understand people way

more before I said anything because honestly you never know what people are going

through. I cherish the people around me especially my mom as she was just a girl who

lost her mom.


But now as I read I always wonder why to things or try my best understand everything

that’s going on just how I do in regular day life. I read the back of the book just so I

could prepare myself and skip the sad episodes in shows so I don’t be sad because

once I’m sad the sad parts of Her life always pops up. So I try my best always smile

throughout life but that question of why always pop up
