My grandmother was dieing when I was born. She had a heart problem…
So the story begins, I was still a little baby, so my mother told me what happened. When I was born, my grandmother was supposed to… die on a certain day. But the strange thing was, she didn’t.
Linda, my aunt, called someone to tell us why. Apparently, the woman she called in was something like a psychologist. She said that the reason for the delay of my grandmother’s death was because of my birth. I was “the star” in my grandmother’s life.
So, of course she loved in me most in the group of children. We played a lot of games and she even let me watch my T.V. shows. But mostly, she’d watch her own Chinese videos (it was a good thing I don’t remember any of them because I hate Chinese shows). My parents and my other relatives that live with me are always either at work or school.
She got more ill, my grandmother. She started to get weak again, so weak, that she couldn’t cradle me in her arms anymore. My mother got a blanket on my grandmother’s lap, so she could hold me there.
Sooner or later, she had another attack on her heart. They had to send her to the hospital, and quick.
We made it there, but my grandmother was already going to die. I didn’t want her to, for crying out loud. I really did cry, because I never let just anyone cradle me. Since my grandmother was the one who actually took care of me when I was young (and took care of me well), I would only let her hold me.
Soon, my grandmother died, and I was held back from her funeral. They said that I was too young. Anyways, whatever happened, I know that I cried a lot because of her.
