My grandma died
’
and I feel lost
without her
Hey Terra,
My grandmother died last week. She had been sick for about a year and was having a lot of
trouble breathing. So, in a way, it’s better for her because she’s not in pain anymore, but I
still miss her! She had a great smile and would always listen to me no matter what I talked
to her about.
The last time I saw her, she joked around, and even though she was very weak and had
all these tubes stuck in her, she asked me how I was doing! I think she was the only person
who really understood me. Now that she’s gone, I feel really lost.
I used to write poems to her for her birthday, and she really liked them. I recently wrote
a poem for her, but she died before I got to read it to her. I feel empty inside, and I don’t want
to talk to anyone.
