'Till we meet again..
Death.
As a young girl I was just beginning to understand...
Until, one night it became surreal as my grandma took her last breath.
The call took my dad to his knees like a command.
Tears flowed down my cheek and my face was hot.
You have always been an angel, Grandma.
Around the family I have known all my life in the church parking lot...
I held it in to show I was strong, I swollowed my tears 'till it hurt my jaw.
Missing my graduations and my wedding is going to be hard.
If i could just cook in the kitchen with you one more time...
The emotional wound was cut open once again like with a glass shard...
.. when we lost you too it was hard on my mom like she had just seen a crime.
After losing both my grandmas, I had to grow up to be there for my mom and dad.
In the end, I matured after the experiences and I chose to be there for my family instead of being upset and mad.
