Today was my sister’s birthday
But a day that turned gray
A day that we were celebrating
But took a family member away
This day happened so fast
A day that made everyone in my family gasp
But this day was going to happen sooner or later
On this day my lovely grandmother past
I woke up in the morning
I saw a text
She’s fine
That’s what I thought in my mind
I panicked inside
I hoped in the car with my two sisters and I
While my dad
Oh my dad stayed behind
We drove with silence in the car with no one speaking
But what we did not know was that my grandmother was already sleeping
We pulled up to her neighborhood
When my dad called my sister
He said girls please come back home
We rushed back as fast as we could
My dad stood out front
Tears streamed down his face
Trying to keep it all in
As I quickened my pace
We ran up to him with our arms wide open
As we cried along with him
No words needed to be spoken
But this day was going to happen sooner or later
On this day my lovely grandmother past
