15 years  5,400 days  129,600 hours 7,776,000 minutes 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...
