The grave of courage and hope It was a rainy day with no clouds showing and the weather was rather depressing for Alina. Alina loved the beautiful sunshine with rainbow lorikeets flying high in the bright, sunny sky. Rosey was different. She liked the gloomy, dark days with storms and rain. Alina’s grandparents were both 98 years old and they were old and frail. The rainy, gloomy day had passed and Alina hated the icky, sticky and brown mud. One day in an unexpected accident, Alina’s Grandparents had passed away by a drunk driver driving a meat truck to the meat company and crashed into them. Alina always visited the grave and thought about how she would end up like that too. One day, her mom said that she can’t go with her and that she might have to stay home.
