Mami was my grandmother. Was. Because she's dead. She died October 20th. The day after my best friend's birthday party. The day after a boy said i was pretty. I cried, of course, but as the days passed i realized i wasn't so sad. And that made me really angry. How couldn't be sad? What was wrong with me? I remember this day when she wrote my name on a notebook. She wanted to talk to me. She said she was sorry about what happened. Long story. I remember when she had the stroke. It was my brother's birthday and she was so happy on the phone. Mom was smoothing my hair and my aunt called. I remember the lost look in her eyes. I remember my sister crying. I remember telling my brother on the phone. I remember crying. But i can't remember was was the last thing she said to me. And that's ****** up. After she died i understood my mixed feelings. I miss my grandmother. But the lady in the bed of a ****** hospital wasn't my grandmother. I know it sounds mean. But it's the truth.
