My grandma Paula has been my role model since I was little she never got heart broken or hurt she was so stubborn. She was always a really good person and she never liked seeing anyone sad but knew just what to say if they were. She was my best friend I would tell her everything and we would take naps together in the living room watching wheel of fortune. She was the only one I could trust when cooking I would call her for questions. When in trouble or having a heart break I would call her, she was my best friend and I can’t believe she was taken so early.
In 2013 she went to the doctors and found out she had stage 4 lung cancer, this was the worst news ever. I remember it like the back of my hand it was a Thursday. I got off the bus and went straight inside which was when my mom looked at me and said “baby girl I need you to sit down I need to tell you something.” I was freaking out the whole room was spinning, the tan walls turned into grey and the tv just disappeared I was afraid my mom never said this to me. When I sat down she told me that my grandma Paula had cancer. I didn’t know what to do, I locked myself away in my room for days crying, it felt like the world had just crumbled at my feet because I stomped too hard on the ground. I felt my heart break a little bit. How could my best friend, my role model be cursed with such a terrible thing? Why me? Why my family? That’s all I could think of, my life had been already bad, why did out of everyone in my family to have cancer it be someone who I’m so close to. By that time I was just preparing for her funeral, I know that sounds bad but stage 4 is the worse stage of cancer. Last summer I ended going and spending a week or two with her and helping her around the house. …show more content…
She seemed like she was getting better she was perfectly fine she would walk around, cook food she even made me her famous waffle ice cream sandwich for breakfast. I was so hopeful. One afternoon that all changed, me and her ended up watching wheel of fortune and falling asleep just because that show was the only kind of interesting thing on T.V. at the time and we both were tired she hadn’t been sleeping at all during the night for a good week or so. I laid on her yellow flower couch and she reclined back in a brown rocking recliner ,it was her favorite chair, we both were watching T.V. and all of a sudden I was out I fell asleep in the middle of the show , around 2. I woke up at 5 and looked at her trying to see if she was awake I figured she would be awake but she wasn’t. I just laid on the couch until about 7 or 8 and I ended up waking her up and I said to her “ hey grandma its like 8 o’clock you should probably wake up and I’m gonna make something to eat but I have no idea what.” She woke up looking confused, She had no idea where she was but she still got up and cooked for me. That night
