A Day of Chaos and Hope

To start off, my life is definitely not interesting, and there are not many happy moments or memories. There is one day though that struck in my head where the world seemed to stop, where happiness disappeared and sadness took its place. It’s kind of hard to get into it, but I will anyway. I will never forget that day, waking up smiling for the first time in a while, getting ready to go see my girlfriend, Kristen. Then the phone rings, I pick it up and my mom is on the other end crying and choking up. I could barely hear her, but I heard the most painful words; “ Your grandma only has about only one hour to live, come up here and see her” My dad and I rushed to the nursing home and went into her room. She saw me and passed away at that moment. Everything was quiet now; everybody in the room was frozen with blank looks on their faces including me. The nurse then walked into the room to check her heartbeat and said “I’m sorry” My mom, my aunt, and my uncles all burst into tears as I stand there not knowing what to do or what to say. My entire body was still like a statue staring down at my grandma. My whole life was already chaos and it just got worse. I walked out of the nursing home and looked at the sky and whispered to it “why did you take her? Why didn’t you take me instead?” my eyes filled with tears as I put my head in my hands. I had finally realized she wasn’t coming back, and I realized that our loss was heavens gain. I think about that day everyday, and I miss her greatly...I can only hope that one day I will see her once again.
