I lost my grandmother in the year of 2009. The year 2009 was a blessing and a curse. The blessing of the year was that I graduated from high school and had my beautiful, handsome son. The curse of the year was when I lost my grandmother. My grandmother's death was the most devastating thing that I could of ever happen to my family and I. My grandmother was a very special person to our family.She was a strong, independent woman who would never tell you anything wrong. She also was a loveable person who loved everybody.

Sometimes at night, I dream about her. I think a lot about that night at West Point hospital when my grandmother became very ill. She was so bad off sick that they had to transfer her to Tupelo Medical Center. Did I mention that my grandmother was a diabetic? There at Tupelo Medical Center my grandmother died a peaceful death on October 6, 2009. I can remember on the way home from Tupelo, I looked up at the midnight sky and saw that the moon was a funny looking color. It was a color of a dark orange, redish color. It also was a full moon that night. The color of the moon scared me so badly, even though the moon be certain colors on different nights. I guess that I was scared because I lost my grandmother that night. That month was just an aweful month for my family.

My mother took it real hard. My mother and my grandmother were very close. My mother, whose name is Linda by the way, was so shocked when she found out that her mother had passed away. My grandmother meant everything to our family. Every time that I look into my Mom's face I can see my grandmother. She looks just like her. I miss her a lot. The whole family misses her. I know that she is in a better place now. She will forever be in my heart. This is it until next time. Enjoy.
