What Once was there; Now is Gone

Family to me is extremely important. Sometimes they agree with you and sometimes they don't. Trying to always meet their high expectations. I know sometimes it gets frustrating and you want to give. They'll make you make and things are said where each it left regretting their words. Family together is so so strong, but when separated things start to fall apart. Every Friday coming home from school knowing that granny was waiting their to take us away. Our weekends filled with fun and laughter. Memories I'll never forget. Those were they days and now looking bad asking God why did they have to end. Summer after summer, continuous fun. My brother, sisters and I would basically stay the entire summer. I can remember once when we went to grocery store and my granny let us buy so much junk that my mom would have had a heart attack. Everyone knows that grannies always get what they know your not suppose to have. That's one of the best reason for having a granny except for the unconditional love. But all to sudden those days started fading away. As we got the news that granny was sick. Now of course people get sick but surely the doctor could cure this. Doctor after doctor, medicine after medicine, it seemed that nothing worked. Well, that when my little sister and I decided we would stay with her and help her because it was hard for her to do what used to be easy things. Assisting at her side for her every need she began to show some improvements. We return home thinking and believing that everything would be fine. Well she died and the whole family took it hard. How could she be right here talking to me yesterday and today she is no where to answer my questions. She would not leave me now, for she knew the things that were yet to come. I begged for her to come back that whatever I did wrong that I was sorry. Still a preteen and I did not understand. I've had to grow up and realize that what you always have won't always be there. So now, and its a habit all in my head, if something belongs to me I take great care of it to ensure that nothing can happen to it and know one can take. I guess this was one of the hardest lessons I ever had to learn. What once was there; now is gone.
