My life Story

Have you ever felt like in just a couple of minutes your life changes in a dramatic 180 degrees, and you felt like you was on top of the world and in minutes everything changes. Everything in your life becomes a disaster. Like a hurricane just passed bye.

          This is how I felt in October 30^th 2009 at 6am in the morning. When I found one of the person that I love the most in my life, dead, gone. This person was my grandmother. Her name was Carmen Serrano. She and my mom was the people who raised me, gave me love, and taught me right from wrong. My grandmother was the only person who never hurt me in any kind of way or let me down, who was always there for me to talk to and joke around with and suddenly she was gone!!! Dead.

          My grandmother died of natural causes; she died in her sleep at the age of 83. The doctors told the family that she was dying but I never accepted it. So when I was sleeping on the early morning of October 30^th my mom called me screaming. When I heard her voice my heart dropped to my stomach. I went running to my grandmother’s room and I saw my mom crying trying to wake up my grandmother but she wouldn’t respond. I was in shocked I thought I was in a nightmare, the moment that I feared to come had arrived. I rushed to the phone and called 911 a few minutes after the EMT was in my house but unfortanaly it was too late. The person that meant the world to me was gone. After this terrible experience I felt into a short depression and loneliness. In my house my grandmother was always there to talk too and make jokes and a day after the house was quiet and felt empty because she was gone. Because of this experience I became angry at the world and at times I thought about killing myself but I never had the guts because I always thought about what will my grandmother feel if I was to take my own life. I finally accepted that she was gone but she always lives in my heart. Always appreciate the people that you love and that are close to you because you never know if tomorrow they will be by your side.
