AUGUST 2022.
TWO YEARS AFTER THE LOSS
I loved my grandparents.
Family wasn't much of a big deal to me until it came to them. They were my stars and moon. I could kill for them. Life was colorless without them. We were almost joined at the hip.
"Didi and her grandparents." As people would always say.
There was nothing I could do without them...
Or so I thought.
But this lady called life had other plans in store for me. Plans I hadn't quite prepared for. Plans I would probably never come to terms with. I just couldn't move past it. It felt like I'd lost something even more dear than a parent.
The words "we lost a lion" couldn't stop replaying in my head repeatedly. It felt too surreal. I didn't expect the news of his death in twenty years to come not to talk more of right now.
The subsequent ringing in my ears drove me crazy and I let out a scream. Each time it happened, it felt more intense than the last.
Beep!
My laptop alarm went off. The meeting. I sighed as I trudged towards my desk. I worked as a remote staff.
For now...
As beneficial as working from home was for my mental health, it felt even more detrimental sometimes.
We win some, we lose some.
I sighed, put on my wig and plastered on a fake smile. I need this salary to fund my lifestyle. I muted the mic and joined the meeting.
Here we go again...
