- Teardrops Full Of Memories: Chapter One

          My world came crashing down on October 1, 2008.

           The death of my beloved Grandfather. He was the radiating light to my dark days. He was my full-blown rainbow on my rainy, dull, excruciating days.

           And to this day, I'll always remember October 1.

           I still remember those lifeless eyes starring at me with no pain or passion.

            Everything hectic happened from that moment.

Imagine yourself all alone. Nothing to do, just all alone. No friends to play tag with. No friends to share feelings with. Just you there, sitting in the corner of your bedroom. Which person first pops into your mind?  As a result, that is the person that you had the most memories. The person that made you feel like you can make a full blown rainbow in your rainy days. Your savior, perhaps?  

        This is where my Grandpa pops into the equation for me.  To illustrate, he was who was always there for me. Had my side through thick and thin, and stood up for me. He thought me from right and wrong. He thought me everything I needed to know about life. You would not believe how much sincere things he would say. If you did something bad, he would give you a whole life lesson about it, this mainly because he was a poet and writer in India. I love him to death, but…….

         Something terrible happened. It was like I got shocked by electric eels. My whole world got hit by a gigantic meteor! Boom! Then it happened, the whole situation flashed before me. The person I loved the most….past away. I can still remember my sister and I walking to his house to visit him, we were so happy! I mean, who wouldn’t be? You had to meet him! Soon as we arrived, we saw him on the couch with his eyes open and still like the Statue of Liberty! Everyone was just sitting there, going on with their normal life-style. But, I knew something was seriously wrong! I just had this gut feeling inside of me and my warning signals were flashing, it was like a mini thunderstorm inside of my body!

           Thus, I ran to my house at lighting speed to tell my mom! Then, everything went down-hill from here! Sirens beeping, lights flashing, paramedics rushing! Afterward, he was gone in the mega fast ambulance.  Next, I was home crying like a girl I am with my mom and sister. I felt sorry for my brother because he never got to meet my grandpa. He was born 2 weeks before he died….I’m going to treat my brother with extra care, now! This made me cry even more! Then we got a call from my dad saying that he’s no more. The whole family went nuts. I will never forget this day.

          Next step was the funeral. We all jumped for joy, and the rest cheered. Nope. That’s not how it gone. It was the total opposite. My dad explained to me that everyone has to die one day, and we both got through this hard milestone together. Everything had been hectic for the last couple of days. To get my mind off of thing, my cousins I and I would play kickball. I would be happy for only a smudge second, and then I would go back to the day. Finally the funeral arrived……I felt like a snot monkey! Once we got there, I had a humongous cloud over my head. All the happy memories just kept replaying through my head. There he was, lying there in a casket. He looked very much alive, except for the face that he wasn’t breathing. Everyone was crying like it was the end of the world. I just couldn’t accept the fact that he was no more.

             I always thought of death this way: Once you die, you become a piece of the sky. You know? Like a star. Every time I look up to the night sky I know he’s watching over us. One day we would reunite, maybe not now, but later. I love him so much! If I only got to say bye…. There he is twinkling in the night sky ever so brightly. He’s the shining light to my dark days.

      I still remember this as a silly joke that God played. What did he do to deserve this? Everyday I waste my wishes on stars, birthday candles, dandelions buds, horseshoes, four-leaf clover, hoping that one day my best friend would come back to me. Sometimes, your faith just drifts away....And this is where I drifted away.
