Life Goes On
Growing up as a little kid my sister and I were very close to my grandmother, she was the person to go to when I was in trouble. She was always so sweet and very caring towards me, she became my best friend. As I got to my teen age years she would always give me good advice any time I had a problem or a question she was the one to go to. She was the person I could truly confide on and tell anything without getting berated. My grandmother was getting old and with age come sicknesses which was proliferating. On November 27, 2012 my grandmother passed away it was very devastating for me the one person that took time out of the day to talk to me had passed away. I felt like I had to relinquish in life; I did poorly in my high school classes, I thought I would never get over it. One of my oldest sisters came over from Napa Valley for the funeral we talked and she told me to stay positive. She told me not to be sad and that everything will be okay along with many other positive things. From that day on my way of thinking was different I stayed strong and tried to make everyone around me happy. I didn't want to fritter time by isolating myself 
that was not going to benefit me or the people around me. I learned how to look at things in a positive way by saying good things like shes in a better place. Although she is gone I'll always have her in my heart and venerate her.

I liked your title "Life goes on" and how you expressed what and how you have moved on after losing your grandmother ,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteIt takes losing something precious to you to show how strong you can be and it seems that you only grew stronger from this experience. . . my condolences to you
ReplyDeleteWow you story is very touching to me because my grandmother passed away too..but unlike your grandma my grandma was a very angry person not showing love all she did was be angry and bitter but in the end she started to be very kind and nice..that started when she started to go to church and gave her life to go and thats when she passed as soon as i got close she left..but what i can say is just like you i stayed positive and now it feels like shes just over someones house and later shell be home.
ReplyDeleteI know what your going through because i lost my grandma to.But there the one who is making us stronger just think about that.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I too had a grandmother that was the same way with me and when she passed that's when everything kind of started to change in my family. this happened years ago when my grandma passed but I know she wouldn't want you to mess up in life. you have to stay strong and remember your grandmother isn't gone forever. she still in your heart too. I wouldn't want you to mess up either.
