even though you're gone you're still here
I just returned from a Exchange trip with my school to Italy. before I left, my grandma had to have surgery because her blatter dropped. she's been sick for 40+ years, so to me it was just another surgery to try to put her out of her misery and pain. I could tell my mom was under a lot of stress about it. she couldn't have the surgery because her lungs needed to be drained, so she had to have surgery to put a tube to drain her lungs. I thought everything was fine, but I could tell something wasn't right with my mom. as I was in italy, our teacher gave us a five minute calling card and I planned on using it to call my grandma. my boyfriend later had to inform me that she had passed the Monday that I had left. I had a feeling something like that was going to happen while I was gone, which is why I didn't want to attend the trip. my family didn't know that I knew so I had to fake a smile when I came home. I then had to watch my mom cry and tell me that she had passed. it still rally hasn't hit me that she's gone, but now I am on the way to her viewing and the funeral is tomorrow. see you in heaven Mama.
