My Grandma's Life

About two years ago, When I went over my grandparents house on a nice, quiet, and peaceful Sunday. My grandma was in the kitchen cooking Sunday dinner as she does every Sunday.

I didn’t know how to act knowing she will die soon. A week later I went over to my grandparents house to see my aunt for one last time.
