thirteenrocksThe gift. Life's little gift.
I was the last person to see my Grandmother alive. She died shortly after my last vist. She was in a wheelchair, excited about her knee surgery (which she would never have), and happy and proud that I would be graduating college in a few weeks. I left, upsett to see her so frail, and I drove off.... it was a summer day.
That morning, I went to work for another Aid, and as I left my apt, I thought of not taking my cell phone, because I don't get calls anyway. No one calls me..... And I worked and life went on...
When I got back to the Apartment... there were messages on the machine. One of them, being my Dad to call him right away in the morning. Well it was already in the afternoon. I called him. He told me that Grandma has passed in the morning. I hung oup the phone. Laurie called me, and she wasn't handling it well. She was sent home from work. Ryan was sent home from work. I was the last to know. I didn't handle it well, and I lost it, and i ended up going home that night. It was just one of those things....
My mother mentioned something in an e-mail, and tonight, I was given the gift. Grandma had kept a journal. Unknown to myself.. and maybe my mother. She gave me the last few years... and now.. Grandma Speaks... her silent legacy.
