That’s the amount of time I knew her for

                                                                

it was…

3 days 
81.08 hours
4,863.8 minutes
291,888 seconds 

after my 15th birthday when I lost her…




August 3, 12:45-

 was when I found out... 


4.45 hours after I asked to take a picture with her so that I could remember her… she was too sick 



August 3, 12:45-

 was when…

I sent a goodnight text
“goodnight mom, please tell grandma I love her so very much and I will come visit her again tomorrow”

and in turn received 
“Oh honey, I am so very sorry,your grandma went to heaven at 12:30 am, she loved you so very much.” 


12:46 am-

was when…

My cheeks were red and hot, the tears poor down my face,my lungs start to burn as I screamed from the pain of loss gasping for air.

My role model, grandmother, and best friend was gone. 


Present day-

All I remember now is what she said, the last thing she said, as she took of her mask and gasped for air she said, “you have such a wonderful life to live.” 

This is all I have left, no picture, no stories, no time left. She’s gone, and with her she takes a piece of me. All I have now is what she said, and the memories of her. The good, the bad, the pain, and the joy. 

She left and took a piece of me...
