Although those were the happiest nights of all, it might've been one of the worst.
In the morning, I went home to find out my grandfather, Lolo, wasn't feeling well and was sent to the hospital.
My heart nearly shattered, tears wanting to escape my eyes.
We later found out his kidney was slowly dying and his own blood couldn't be naturally flown throughout his body.
Flashbacks of when my grandmother passed came along, but seeing the same happen to my grandfather, made me want to break.
He hadn't eaten in weeks and looked weary. I spoke to him, trying so hard not to cry.
"Lolo, why are you not eating? Im scared to lose you, please don't leave me..."
But as I said those words, my throat clogged and I pressed my palms onto my eyes.
Gasping for air, I couldn't hold it in.
I cried a river for my heart could no longer take it....
"Lolo, are you not eating because you don't love me anymore?...."
The wisest words came out of his mouth.
"Granddaughter, do not cry. It is God's choice to take me,but it's your choice to stay strong. Of course I love you, but it's my time. I feel God is calling me."
So in the hospital, we lay on the same bed and I prayed so that God would take care of him.
He shut his eyes and when he did, I knew what happened next.
My grandfather flatlined.
" Date: 9/5/17
Time: 5:37 " the nurse declared.
I went over to Davynn's again.
"Riona, don't cry anymore. Just breathe, he's in a better place now."
"He's gone.... forever."
"We'll get through this together. Im here for you, okay? I love you. Please stop crying, it breaks my heart"
"Okay. Thanks Davynn, I love you too."
And that was the last time I saw my grandfather in real life, even if I only watched him in my dreams.
