My grandmother just passed last week and I feel as if I have lost a part of me. Most kids aren’t close to their grandparents but my situation was completely different. I loved her so much and it’s been so hard for me that past couple of days.
Since she passed, I have done some soul searching.
I know that I have come to appreciate things in a whole different manner. For example, my responsibilities are viewed upon in a complete different manner. I promised myself that I would take life more seriously. I almost want to succeed just for my grandmother. I know that she will not be able to see me grown up and well into my career, but I know she will be looking down on me every step of the way.
She was such a huge part of my life. Her intuitive advice has helped me cope in the most unbelievable ways. It is extremely hard for me to accept the fact that I will never be able to pick up the phone and call her whenever I feel the need to. She was a secondary mother who raised me and guided me through my childhood. If it weren’t for her, I would have been raised in the manner that I was. Both of my parents worked jobs and for my first few years as a kid, it was always she and I.
I am going to be lost without her. She has been there for me every single time I needed that special attention. Her love was clearly unconditional.
My poor grandma
