My Gran : - Her Life and the Impact She Had On Everyone

Chapter 1

My Perfect Day
My perfect day would be to go back in time and see my gran before she passed away.

While she was still here, I would visit and spend time with her. I would also occasionally text her.

4 Days After I Last Visited...
I had received news that I didn't want to hear. That night,while I was sleeping, I had a dream.

*My Dream*

I snuck out to see my Gran in the hospital. As I approached her room,I had a nervous feeling in my stomach. I was unprepared for what I had seen.

There she laid,still,motionless and at peace. The heartbeat monitor was beeping at a steady pace. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Her doctor had told me she wouldn't have long left to live. I knew what I wanted to say to her. "Nana, since I was little , I knew I could rely on you for anything. I just wanted to say thank you for being my role model."

As I was leaving she said her last words to me which were
"Goodbye,Becca. I'll always be proud of you and I'll check in on you from time to time."

Her body became still and she took her final breath. The heartbeat monitor bleeped for a long time. That's when I knew she was gone.

*After My Dream*

I woke up sweating and I looked around my room which was shrouded in darkness. Then all of a sudden , I started to cry uncontrollably. I kept thinking 'Why did she have to leave us? It wasn't her time yet.' I got up out of my bed, opened my curtain, looked out my bedroom window and stared at the stars - thinking back on something she always said to me - 'When someone passes on, their soul doesn't leave the world - they become a guardian angel and look down on us from Heaven - at day they are a cloud but at night they are star - that's why we have so many stars in the sky at night - because of all the guardian angels looking down on us'. I looked at the stars one last time and said to myself "You're a guardian angel now Nana - you deserve it after all the good you have done'.
