The Post Grandma World

A Story by Annie Hedgepeth
"

A 10 year old girl has lost her grandmother and she is trying to forget her with laughter love and memories the story is portrayed

"
I pulled a tattered piece of paper from under my bedspread and I had read it so many times
Dear Mo,

I know I am reaching my last days and I know I will die soon. I want you to love freely and be happy. Treasure your life as I have treasured mine I want you to know that I will always love you.

That was when a huge streak cut across the page when her body gave up fighting. My Grandma Catalina was an immigrant from Italy she was fluent in her English but she kept her soft accent.

My of my first memories of her was when I was at the ice cream stand 

"Hey Monique want some ice-cream?"my cousin Rosie shouted 
 
" Why not!" I responded
 
  My cousins and I slithered behind trees and climbed the fence and my cousins led me to a stand and it had ice-cream ads on the back I could almost taste the creamy sensation and the brain freeze when it's to cold.

I was about to put in my order when I realized something familiar about the man behind the counter. At that point he was putting in the ice-cream and some other ingredient.

' Here kiddo!" he said holding out the cone 

I prepared for my first lick closing my eyes and then I took my first lick.
On impulse I spit out my ice-cream and realized my cousin had dumped a container of salt into my ice-cream.

I started crying and ran back home which was about two blocks away 

" Grandma Catalina Rosie, Jordan, Paul and Annabelle tricked me into getting salty ice-cream." I  said then I let out a mixture between a sob and a wail out as a dramatic effect
 
"Let us go and we will go to the blue sky creamery the finest ice-cream store around."

I looked at her and said" Really?"
 
" Really." She responded

That is just one of my memories I have a binder of memories. 

Monique that's me I'm a ten year old girl and I like basketball, Running and Biking. I also enjoy cooking, knitting and Writing.

" Mo time for dinner Kyle is already here at the table." Mom called

I sat down to a dinner of Mac + Cheese with strawberries and fired chicken. My mom has stooped eating healthily after my Grandma died. 

She used to be a total freak about
