The Worst Day of my Life The loss of my grandfather was a disaster. It was the night before my great
grandfather died. First of all, my family and I were sitting down at home watching a
documentary about dolphins. Suddenly, I heard a knock in the door, so I went to open the
door to find that it was my grandfather. I kissed his hand and his head but he was not happy
as usual because he did not give me attention. The Strange thing was that he went directly to
my bedroom where he always sleeps when he visits us; however, he did not salute my family
or sat with us as usual. I told my parents that my grandfather was in my bedroom and he was
sleeping. They said to me that he was tired and he was old so he needs some rest. I did not
believe them because my grandfather was always happy and he slept in my bedroom on
Friday afternoon after we eat lunch. After thirty minutes, I had to watch my favorite show, so
I went to my room, I opened my bedroom door and sat on my brother bed because my
grandfather was sleeping in my bed. After the show finished, I had to wake him in order to go
to his home, but he did not respond me, he had passed away. I called my parents to see what
happened and they were shocking, even I was shocking because I remembered that I had just
talked to him. I miss him a lot and I cannot forget him because he died in my bedroom,
and whenever I went to my bed, I always remembered the moment he died and I am
always dreaming a bad dreams about him. In brief, the day when I lost my grandfather
was the worst day in my life.

I couldn’t believe it. He was very young, and seemed to be quite healthy. At that minute, my whole family sat around the living room sobbing our eyes out. It was probably the saddest moment of my life. For this reason, my family drove over to my Grandma’s house to meet the rest of my family. Once we got there, everyone was not doing well at all. We all mourned together for the next few days. During those few days, I noticed how everyone in our family accompanied each other, and how close we all became. I now realize that family is the most important thing, and they will always be there for…

That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

I remember being asked if I wanted to go to his funeral or not. At first I didn’t want to deal with it and just wanted to hide away from all of it. Then I found out my mom was going and I thought it would be nice to be with her out of a facility. My grandfather died of kidney cancer, but since 9/11 was going on while he was in the hospital, they said he woke up thinking he was in it. This probably happen because everyone that visited him watched the coverage while they were in the room. Even though he had died, that week wasn’t so bad because I got to spend it with my mom. Although, the week coming home was unbearable because with her I was able to forget about all of our problems and pretend everything was back to normal. The events of 9/11 and my grandfather passing made me realize that even though my family was going through a lot, with the kindness of those around us, we were going to survive. I didn’t live with my mom again until I was 20 and she needed help with my brother, but I kept moving forward in my…
