Essay 2 Personal Narrative

When I was younger I would always stay with my grandma and we did everything together. She was my best friend I loved her to death. One day we was in the living room and she looked like she was wanting to tell me something but she was scared to say it I had asked her if there was something wrong and she had replied with sweetie I’m fine. I knew something was wrong and she was hiding it. So when I went home I had told my mom and dad that grandma wasn’t acting right.
I went and seen her every day and then one day she was very sick and we thought she wasn’t going to make it. I was the one that stayed with her every night at the hospital for a week. I got up every time I heard her moving or when the nurse came in. She had got out a week later. She kept telling me she was fine and she was going to be around for awhile.
She looked me dead in the eyes and was like sweetie I promise you I will be here till your 18. I few months later we found out that she was fight against cancer. I didn’t want to lose my best friend I told her everything then one day mom and dad decided that we was moving out fish creek and I did not want to leave her. They told me everything was going to be okay that I could still go stay with her on the weekends.
I was very mad when we moved because they would not take me out to her house. I always thought it was because they hated me and did not want me to see her like that I did not want her to fight it alone I felt like I was a bad granddaughter because I haven’t seen her in months. One day my aunt had came and got me we went straight to see her I missed her so much. I stayed with her most of the summer then one night I was there and she got up and was having trouble breathing.

    I didn't get to see her much at the end, I was too young to go in the ICU. I just remember my sister being the one that told me. I was sitting on her bed and she told me that grandma Grace has passed away. I was too young to really comprehend what was happening. I thought it was a joke, until that day I saw her lying there. I went up to her and told her to “Wake up.” My mom told me, “she isn’t going to.”…

    Since I was a little kid she had been a constant in my life. Every holiday, every family reunion, every birthday, she would always be present. At family reunions, she would be engaged in conversation at the daily breakfasts and dinners, at every birthday party she would be there when the presents were opened and the cake was eaten. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, she would always bring her famous deviled eggs and would be playing with the children. Near the end she would almost always be asleep and covered in blankets on the couch, until her family needed her. But perhaps the strongest memory I have of her was only between us. Our family was visiting Stillwater for the day, for what reason I can’t remember. Being young at the time I was always excited to have a ride in my grandparents’ van, especially if she was there. We were sitting in the very back, and she was talking to me about something which I only now see the profoundness of: her own mortality. She told me she wanted to live to see me graduate high school, a dream which she wouldn’t live to see to fruition. In telling me this I realize now that she was confiding in me her fear of death, a fear which at the time I had no concept…

    The Invasion

    She was the only one that could bail me out of time out when i got in trouble, the only one that would play dress up with me because I was the only girl growing up, and the only one that allowed me to watch TV until my eyes fell out. I loved staying up late listening to her spooky ghost stories and dreaded waking up early for Sunday morning bible study with her. Grandma Bea was the big sister I always wanted, and regretfully, I am just now realizing it. She had been a registered nurse for years, and worked as a supervisor in a nursing home. Recently, my family began to notice her regular calls were fading from the cheery talk about how great work was, to her worrying someone was stealing from her. Some of her belongings began to disappear. When her mother's jewelry came up missing, my dad went over to make sure she didn't just misplace it. After searching for hours, he plopped down on the couch for a breather when, low and behold, the missing jewels were found in between the couch cushions. As my family's concern for her well-being began to grow, she reasoned this was only what comes of old age along with her lousy eyesight and somewhat hard of hearing. She was not able to drive at night. If she happened to be behind the wheel at night fall, she would pull over to switch seats with someone. Grandma is such a stubborn woman. She argued with the family until they were convinced that she could stay at her own apartment. After all, she lived in a senior living community located directly across the street from her job. She was still a certified registered nurse and was still my father's mother, so he let her be and dismissed it as she disputed. Not too long after that episode, my dad received an urgent message from her exclaiming that there were aliens in her apartment, and she needed to get picked up immediately. As bogus as that sounded, my dad rushed over as soon as he could. He…

    We were so happy, I started explaining to her where we were, how the place looked like and that there was a big garbage can, as I explain tears dripped from my eyes. We hugged each other, cried, and stayed put right next to the garbage can. We finally saw my mother’s silver BMW car. We slowly walked towards the car, making sure that it was my mother or one of our parents are in there. I then saw my mother did something with her hand, I know what that meant to hurry up, I told my little cousins to hurry up and get in the car, we ran as fast as we could towards the car and got in. Since then my little cousins and I learned a very big and important lesson that we will never forget, it to your pacings with your family, close and to tell them that you need a break if you are losing your…

    At the age of seven I started to notice a change in my family. My dad stopped coming to church with the family, came home later and later each night, and eventually started fighting with my mom all the time. One day after school my sister and I got off the bus like a normal day, when we realized something was wrong. My mom was waiting for both my sister and I at the bus stop when she normally just waited for us at home. When we approached my mom we noticed that she had been crying, she had red puffy eyes and wasn’t smiling like she usually was. When I asked her what was wrong she simply said, “We will talk about it when we get home.” At that moment my stomach dropped, I knew something was really wrong.…
