Goodbyes

Losing someone who means a lot to you is very sad, knowing you’ll never see them again makes you think of all the memories that you and that person had together. Back in 2011 I lost someone very special to me, my grandpa. Since he lived in Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua, it was hard to go and visit him often, but we always took time to go and visit him whenever we could. I wasn’t very close to my grandpa but whenever we went to go visit him or he came to visit us it was really nice to see him and talk to him.

In 2011 he started to get sick, we found out he had cancer, he was a fighter after a few months he was better. But the good news didn’t last very long, after two months we found out he was very sick and they couldn’t do anything about it. In November my dad decided to go spend a week with my grandpa, my mom and I couldn’t go because of school and work. The morning my dad was coming back from visiting my grandpa, my mom got a call from my aunt, my grandpa had passed away. 

A few minutes after the call my dad called us to pick him up from the bus station, picking him up was the saddest and hardest thing I had to do after the news. Knowing my grandpa was gone, that I didn’t see him often, that I never had the chance to say goodbye hit me hard at that moment. I regretted not going with my dad to at least spend the last week with him, but I couldn’t do anything about it now. This really made me start thinking, I should really stay close to my family members and friends because you never know when its going to be the last time you see them or get to say goodbye.
