After a two month battle with brain cancer, my grandmother died last night. I was incredibly close to her, as I was born right after my great-grandmother died. I’ve been told that to my grandmother, I symbolized happiness after what was a very gray time in her life. In July, we found out she had brain cancer. She had been falling down for no reason. I was terrified. I couldn’t sleep at all. She was put through radiation treatment instead of chemotherapy. It was just one problem after another until two days ago, when we found out the likelihood for her was death. The funny thing? I thought a miracle would happen. I didn’t feel like I got enough time with her. My other grandmother had survived cancer, and I was so sure this one would too. She was taken off all of her artificial tubes two nights ago. She had made it peacefully through the first night and then was put on medicine so that she would make it peacefully through what was going to be the last day. My parents had informed the school of this and many of the teachers came to talk to me about it. Yesterday was hard, but I still had that hope that something would happen. I was watching TV last night with my brother and my mom. Suddenly, a buzz came from the nightstand. It was my dad. He said my grandmother had stopped breathing. At first I needed some time to process. That night was hard. I’m currently staying home from school to mourn. My grandfather talked to me. So did my cousin and my dad. I’ve been crying a lot. But as lots of people who knew her have said to me, they know she’s up in Heaven, probably talking to Jesus as I post this. I know she’s looking after me today. As I’m writing this, it’s raining. I like to think of rain as a way of God saying that he’s accepted someone into Heaven. As I grieve, I’m not going to be as active on Scratch or any social medias. My cousin, @-_DayDream-Wren_-, can help you with anything or if you need to tell me something, tell her first. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
