Kerigan's+memoir+12

My grandma's hair was light brown and was as curly as a clown wig. Even though she lived in Fremont we got to see her at most of the holidays. One day around Halloween she came over and spent the night, we were coloring while she was talking to my mom. My grandma also loved to sew, every time I look at a quilt she made I can see her in my head. My favorite quilt she made has ladies dancing in the square each of them had on a different dress with flowers on it.

When I was in third grade my mom thought it would be pleasing to my grandma if we went and saw her in the hospital. We brought ruby red nail polish to paint her nails, they were beautiful because Taylan and I got to paint them. Later my grandma wanted Star Bucks so she stayed at the hospital while we got coffee for her. I remember that I did NOT want anything but I was thirsty so I got a berry smoothie, and of course I did not finish it.

A few days later Taylan and I woke up, we were walking to the kitchen but we saw my mom bawling on the couch. My dad said "Ask mom what is wrong." "Grandma Judy died" My mom said taking breaths between each word. All three of us sat on the couch, my mom and Taylan were crying, I was trying to be strong and not cry but you could tell I had tears in my eyes.

Later that day my mom told us how my grandma died. She said that my grandma was taking her pills but she could not swallow them, so the nurse went to get help but it was to late, when the nurses came back she was already dead. The nuses say she was trying to swallow then but she chocked, and I believe that because when we saw her she was perfectly fine.

When I heard the news I was more shocked than sad because this has never happened to me, no one had died in my family, well my great grandma died but I was to little to understand what happened. I was also surprised because my grandma was perfectly fine.

You will always miss someone, so will your friends, just have a spot in your heart for them they will stay there with you forever. Just like me, I have a special spot in my heart so I can remember my grandma.
