What an axausting day this Thursday was for me. =/ It all started early, really early in the mornig around 4 am. I was sleeping and woke up to my house phone ringing, and I knew something was wrong. It was one of those moments when you have a bad feeling and you just expect the worst. After the phone rang acouple of times, I knew my mom had answered it, because I did not hear it go to our answering machine.  I layed in my bed waiting for her to walk in, as if she would just come in and give me bad news. She never did. I wanted to go to her room and find out what was going on, but I was scared. I was afraid, I didn't want to know what had happend, so I stayed in my room. I guess after thinking about it too much i managed to go back to sleep.

I didn't sleep for too long, because I woke up at six am again to my brother's and mom's conversation. I heard them talking in the hallway and yes I was right, something  bad had happend.=( My heart was pounding and my stomach turned into a knot. All that i remember hearing was my mom telling my brother, that someone had passed away. I didn't hear who and i layed in my bed silent, I didn't know what to think. I stared into the dark ceiling with no answer. Then my brother came in my room, he told me our great grandma (my dad's grandma) passed away. I stayed silent. The first person that came to my mind was my dad. He's working in San Diego and I knew he was probably feeling really sad. He always told us many stories about his childhood, growing up with his grandma. She was a hard working woman and always cared for my dad.
I believe my great grandma was in her late 90's and the last time I saw her was about two years ago when I went to Mexico with my brother. She was so sweet and always asking us about my dad.

The one thing that sucked too was that this Thursday that we found out my great grandma passed away, was my brother's 25th birthday. He told me he was happy waking up in the morning and after hearing the bad news, his happiness went down the drain. I feel bad too because we will always remember my brother's birthday as very sad day. =( That thursday I was soo sad and tired  I had driven my mom to San Diego so she could meet up with my dad and they left to Mexico asap. And on top of everything I had to work from 4 pm to 1130 pm. I was on little sleep and had too many things on my mind.

Now my great grandma is in a better place and watching over my family and I.

  4. Condolences Yesenia. Life is too short, but we need to cherish every moment of it. You're grandma is looking down on you guys now. I feel bad for your brother though, every time he have his birthday, you also celebrate your grandma's death. But on the bright side, let's just think that she is already in heaven, watching you and protecting you. Condolences :(
