Personal Narrative: My Grandma's Funeral

Improved Essays
The tears flooded out when my Grandma died. I was with her almost every day. She was the best. Even when she got mad at me, I would laugh. Whenever she got mad she would say, “shame on you.” I would tell her everything. I remember one time when I was at her house I touched a light bulb. It made me cry. But my Grandma was there to put ice on my hand. She would always take me to McDonalds and then she would take me to the library where I would read with the giant stuffed animal , Clifford.

When we were there you could hear everyone cry and using their tissues to wipe away their tears. I could smell that depressing smell of the hospital. The colors of it was gloomy and sad.

Once she died I realized how great of memories we had and all the fun times we had together. After that there were no more memories to be made with her again. That was like the saddest I have ever been. When we drove home we were all very depressed. The funeral was very depressing. There were lots of tears and sadness. Although I barely remember it I do remember how sad I was. She was buried close to the cemetery where my brother Jacob is. We now visit her sometimes at her buried body. We had to sell her house where my mom grew up. I can still picture her house in my head and I still have the bells that were on her back door. I miss her very much. But now she is in a better place and I think about her like every

    Soon after it was time to take her to the burial grounds and a procession with a lot of people followed her body to where she was buried next to my grandfather.
