A Day Without Thanksgiving
Have you ever lost someone very close to you to the point where you lose all your happiness? I have, three years ago. I've lost someone who brought nothing but happiness in my life. It wasn’t easy at first, but life goes on. Once you lose someone important to you, you realize all the things you didn’t cherish with them. I Have lost my loving grandmother and I have also interviewed my sister about it. Grief is very sad and everyone is going through a rough time.
The Interview
The interview with my sister with questions. I asked her, "do you remember taking me to the hospital to visit grandma Mary?" She said, "yes, and you couldn't handle being in there so you left running." Therefore, I began to tell her about my grandmother's last words …show more content…

My parents began to argue about everything; they couldn’t get along anymore. Therefore, They ended up having a divorce which broke me even more. I lost my grandmother and then I lost my parents right after. Ever since then I had to go from one parent to another. Holidays were even worse after that, and then I began to fear losing someone
