The Last time i saw my Grandmother

(Edward M. Casimiro 12-Mercury)

I've never been deeply saddened by any death before. And this is my first encounter of a death that is
real and close to me.

I was in the 3rd grade when my grandmother became very ill. She was always fainting. We don't know
what kind of sickness she has. So we came to the Hospital to check her. But the doctor said that she has
a Hypertension. She just needs a rest and stop drinking alcohol. But I never thought that it would lead to
her death.

On November 10, 2012. It was Saturday that my father came home early at the morning. I knew
something was wrong because ther is a blood stain on his clothes . I asked him where he went that early
morning. But he just smiled at me. And then, my mother came to me and begun to explain what's realy
going on. She explained everything to me.She said that Nanay (Grandmother) fainted again at 3 o'clock
in the morning. No one noticed it but my father. He rush her to the Hospital but its too late. My Nanay
run out of blood. We immediately went to the Hospital, there were people everywhere. Everyone tried
to straighten up but i could see the hurt and pain in everyone’s face. I walked into the room and
everyone was sitting around crying. My mother then led me back into my granny’s bedroom where I
then see her lying in that hospital bed peacefully.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. Tears began to form in my eyes and at that point my heart's den seeped into
my stomach. The pain was awful. She was like a mother to me. We did everything together. As I sat on
the end of her dresser tears ran quickly down my face and into my hands. I just started because I
couldn’t believe what was going on. I looked into space as I thought to myself about how my life was
about to change. I had just seen her that weekend before and she was just fine. She begged my mother
not to tell my sister or I because she didn’t want us to stress.Two weeks later. The last day of the
funeral.

I refused to go. I just couldn’t bare taken the pain of her lying there restless without a breath left in her
body. I was forced to go. My mother told me that it would be the last time I laid eyes on her and that it
would only be right for me to show my face. She had to really explain that to me. I always think about
her. I see her earn every day. I walk through my front door. She was my heart and she meant the world
to me. She gone now and there’s nothing I can do to change it but im glad she’s not suffering anymore
and is in a better place. R.I.P Nanay.
