My mima (grandma)

by Julia   Jul 19, 2005


I lived in Europe practically all of my life, but when i finally moved to the states i moved right next to my grandmother and step grandpa. i was so excited to move right beside her. i would always go to her house and hang out with her everyday. thats all i ever wanted to do, even right after i got off of my school bus i would drop all my bags off at my house then go next door..

she was like a second mother to me, i loved her So much! after living in America for a year, my grandma started to act a little weird, she started loosing alot of weight. then one day i found out she collapsed in the bathroom and my step grandpa called the ambulance. i remember that day like it was yesterday... i was standing outside in the front yard with my brother looking at those people pulling her into the ambulance..

than the news came... she had colon cancer. but the bad news was that is had spread all over her body. i remember my dad telling me when i was watching t.v i my parents bedroom, he said she wasn't going to live that long... about a maximum of three months.. i didn't know what to do but just cry. everyone was next door except me and my brother, we weren't aloud over there.

i finally got to see her in the hospital. she looked so different. i will never forget what she wrote down on a piece of paper...since she couldn't talk, she told me how I'm such a brave girl. then my mom and i had to go back to the house. i got to see her one more time. but then after only three weeks in the hospital, she passed away.

it was on December 11th at about 5:30pm. i thought that my life had ended. i only got to be with her about one year of my life. she was only 58 years old. i will always miss her... i love her so much!
