Grandpa's Ability To Go Into A Nursing Home

Improved Essays
The woman walked up to her kids. She had a little son and three little girls. All of them had not lost anyone close to them, or have they ever had anyone get hurt enough that they had to go to the hospital. She had all of them sit on the couch. “Well Grandpa has to go into a nursing home, Grandma can not take care of him no more.” The woman said it with such a nice calm voice. Even though it was a really bad thing, she just made it sound like no big deal, but inside she was freaking out, because her dad was going into a nursing home because he was very ill. That woman would be my Mom. She was able to smile a little to help her four innocent kids, my siblings. My little brother was only 3 and my two sister were 12 and 8, I was only 10.

My dad, mom, and two sisters were going.
I told my mom “no because I was not feeling good” But in fact I was really upset that my Grandpa was still ill and that he was not getting any better. So instead of going to the hospital I stayed at my grandma 's house to watched my brother and played cards with my Grandma.
My family got back around 3 and we were eating dinner. My mom got a call from my uncle saying that Grandpa was not doing good and that we should go up there.
