Grandfather’s Death We all know that a loved one’s death is always shocking or unexpected. Hearing that a person that you have loved since you were young is shocking and upsetting and no one wants to have it happen. Mix that with the rush to drive from Florida to Colorado, in only 3 days I think it was, was both stressful and uncomfortable to both my parents and my family who I lived with, which were 10 at the time due to visiting family. We saw many nice sights and I got to know my cousins more on the trip which was nice but that week was the hardest and longest week I have ever lived through.
It all started during senior year of high school in 2014 in September, I was in my 4th period English class analyzing the “epic” Beowulf when my teacher received a call from the front office and she said that I am being picked up early. Now as I go up to the front office passing all these classrooms filled with students I may or may not know I am thinking to myself “do I have an appointment today that I wasn’t told of?

The 2-3 day trip was agonizing because it was cramped and my cousin hunter sweats like a pig and at the time my cousin hunter would try to annoy me by making weird
