The Death of My Grandmother

     It was a rainy day in October, so I ended up staying inside the dorm playing on my computer. The phone rang and it was my mother telling me that my grandma’s condition has worsened. She told me that I had to try to come home right away because my grandmother was only going to live through the night. I looked over at the clock to see that is was five o’clock.  Knowing the bus and train have already made their last departures from Pittsburgh, I decided to fly even though I live three hours away.  So, I called a cab and hurriedly gathered my belongings up.

My grandmother had cancer on her liver, which caused the yellow jaundice, and other organs. I have been watching her suffer from cancer for the past two years now. She has had her good day and her bad days. My grandmother is one of the only people that I know who would always be smiling not matter what the situation was.  She didn’t want people to feel sorry for her.
I decided to stay the night at the nursing home, since I was worried about leaving her. It was about midnight when I began to get very tired, and I started to dream about all the good times my family and grandparents had together. I dreamt about a long weekend at or cottage, which happened 3 years ago.
