my grandma went to heaven on march 21, 2008. i will never forget that morning i woke up in her hospital room, finding her asleep, the kind of asleep you dont wake up from. she was a 23 year breast cancer survivor. and then was diagnosed with lung cancer and bone cancer in february of this year. the day she told me about it, was when she had just picked me up from school and said she had been to the doctor the previous day. she said they think she has cancer. she also told me that no matter what, while she is alive, she will always be there for me and sean. i tryed to hold back my tears as we were in the car. when we got to her house all i could think about was living without her and how hard that would be. me and my grandma were very close, she was one of my bestfriends and i knew i could tell her anything. when she got put in the hospital i would go see her everyday, and each day i saw her pain increase. she would always ask if i wanted to lay by her side and i always did. i just never thought the day of losing her would come within a month. there is not a day that goes by that i dont think of her, and wish she was here. i miss her so much. she was a very strong woman, and she loved jesus. im glad now she is with him, but here everyone is hurting.
but i am just goin to live my life, with everything she has taught me and im gonna be the granddaughter she would of loved to see grow up.
