As an assignment we were asked to write a ‘Family Story’. Using a snip of information from our parents, grandparetns etc .. and turning it into a piece of writing. Instead i decided to write about the death of my Tom, My grandpa. This shows both sides, both feelings between myself and him. I tried really hard to get inside of his head and heart. Here is a snippet of my story , unfortunately i can’t show it all as it is quite personall.
That was the last time I ever saw my little grand daughter. She will never know the happiness she brought into my life and the strength it took her to come to me one last time. I smiled as I took my one last breath.
He died that night.
I never understood how such a strong person could just give up on everything. Maybe it took more courage to actually let go, rather then to hold on.I had never felt so close to someone before and then just had them taken away.
My last reminder of him as standing on the edge, looking down into a big hole, dropping my rose and saying my one last goodbye.
