Through all the pins,needles, and surgery my grandfather stood tall and took the pain. Soon his breathing became labored and made unpleasant sound to the ear. Then doctor then informed us that the unpleasant sound was the result of fluids filling up in his lungs which is often called a “death rattle”. At that moment we knew it was time to say our goodbyes. On Tuesday night at ten twenty two pm he took his last breath. I looked around the room at all my family members; sorrow and pain was all that seemed to consume the room. All the tear streaked faces looked down at the man we knew would forever be in our hearts. My grandfather taught me many lessons in the time he was here. In the white cubicle room I learned a very important lesson for my grandfather; one I will never forget. In life we will experience a moment of hopeless but how we handle it is what truly defines us. Although my grandfather was going through pain and suffering he never once complained, felt pity for himself, or resented God. Instead he found the light in the darkest situations and left it in God’s hands. For that reason my grandfather inspires me to keep going even in the darkest moments and leave it in
