Gone For 7 Years Now

Gone For 7 Years Now

R.I.P grandma

"

Today marks 7 years that my grandma has been gone. July 11, 2015 was a sad day. My grandma fought cancer for years before she died. When my mom found out that she had cancer and was in debt. She had my grandparents move in with us. Good years it was when they moved in. My grandma barely showed the pain she went through for years. She was a strong lady. A lot of cancer patients are very strong. I can’t believe how strong they are. I fully respect them and happy they are such strong souls. Some of them beat it and some of them don’t. Unfortunately my grandma wasn’t able to beat it. She was close to beating It, but then she had a bad stroke and that defeated her. I hate that it happened. My grandma tried healing from the stroke but God and her thought it was her time. It was a little young and it was difficult for me to manage her stroke and what she was going through. That day my mom called me down and told me grandma was gone. My poor grandpa witnessed her death. She died in our home. The doctors wanted her to go to the hospital but my grandma said “no”. She wants to rest in peace in her home and around her family. I miss her every day. 

There are times when I have dreams of her. 

There are times when I cry. 

There are times when I feel her around me. 

Today marks the 7th year she has been gone. I accepted it but it still hurts and there are times I regret not being around her more while she was close to death. I love and miss her so much.
