Eulogy For Grandmother

Improved Essays
Splat! The pie made as it hit the ground. My Grandma had made a blueberry pie that was the best around. It really was because she had put it in the best pie competition at the county fair. The pie had won first place and Grandma won one hundred dollars.
No one knows how she makes her pies so deluxe, but Grandma is going to tell someone in my family the secret ingredient because she’s on her last legs. One thing I wished she had done was open a pie bakery, but she told me she was not in it for the money. Suddenly, each person in my family is being nice to her: going to her house more, taking out her garbage, and washing her dishes. It makes me mad that people do that, even my own family.

My family and I went back to Grandma’s house to see her because she has been getting sick lately, which is bizarre because she’s always been healthy as a horse. Which makes me mad that my siblings are kissing up to her even though she is sick. My Grandma is still sick, but she did make a pie it raised my hopes and I guess everyone else’s to get that recipe. My Mom had taken me to get some medicine for Grandma and some other household objects. I actually found out that my mom used to cook pies with my Grandma, but she had to get out when Grandma got out the secret ingredient which tells me that Grandma might tell my Mom the ingredient. Now this is the third day in a row Grandma made a pie, and everyone is lionizing her while interrogating her. Then one day Grandma had called me into

    Mom, I want to thank you for keeping me alive all these years. Other parents did not have to fight as hard as you to keep me alive.

I was born on November 9th in 1934. If I could describe myself back then, I'd say I was a childhood science fiction addict. It was when…

    Every Christmas Eve our family gathers around the coffee table in our apartment in New York City. During the day we go to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and buy chocolate candies from the Greenwood Pastry on the corner. Uncle Riley leads the way as we walk the streets until the light begins to fade between the office towers and the crippled gargoyles forever perched on the corners of the buildings that illuminate a golden age gone by. We laugh together and reminisce about the previous Christmases we have spent together. The elevator seems quieter on these nights, almost as if it has a respect for the holiday, but I know it’s just because we’re all crammed in there together.…
