Life isn’t fair,
I was the happiest girl in the world like I had no care. I have the best mom, a brother who protects me, a father who I only see once a year or two, and finally the best grandma in the world. Her name is Josefina Alcantar my mom’s mom. She was so funny, caring and loving. She was such a nice lady that every time you were feeling down she would try to cheer you up by making funny jokes or make hot chocolate which is really good. She was always there for me when I needed her, yeah, she would get mad sometimes, but she really wasn’t serious about it, though. She always made me smile even  when I didn’t want to, alway having this rare, kind smile on her face, even when it was hard. 

She’s my most precious gem that’s very beautiful and that shines when you show her to the light. She’s always been there for me as my second mom. She was really nice because she would always invite my brother and me to go to the store with her, so we could get junk food to eat. I was so attached to her, that every time I made my mom mad, I would run over to my abuela, so she can defend me from her. She’s really beautiful, but she’s one of a kind that only lives once. She helped prepare me to understand death by telling me that you don’t decide who stays and who fades away. About friendship, she taught me that it’s better to trust and regret than to doubt and regret. These lessons have stayed with me. Even though she’s gone, I’ll never forget what she taught me.

I remember when my grandma and I went to the forest together and the rest of the family we had lots of fun. From what I remember she was calling out my name and I ran to her. She hold out her hand and I grabbed it, we walked down the river that was close by. She told me to live life with no regrets and that if something ever happens that it happened for a reason. Even if she’s not here to see me grow up she will watch over me and she won’t let anything happen to me. She also mention that she’s proud of me that she believes in me and no matter the choices I make she will support me. I was so proud to hear her say that, that’s a moment I will never forget.
It’s funny how all those good memories we shared together could disappear in the blink of an eye. When we saw my mom crying we knew at that moment that  something bad happened to her, when she told us she died I felt like someone has just shooted me right through my  heart that it hurt so much. there’s this poem name “nothing gold can stay.” by Robert frost that reminds me of my grandma. She always had this necklace that my grandpa gave her which now belongs to me. Even till this day I still believe that it’s my fault and that I could’ve done something different if I had just said “yes”. Every time I remember I think to myself that it’s my fault that she died if only I had said yes, things would have changed, she might as well still been alive. Life isn’t fair.
