As today is Easter, its always hard on our family. Easter
falls on a different day every year, much like thanksgiving.
Grandma passed on Easter of 2013. I still remember the day
like it was yesterday. She had been battling illnesses for a while. She had
just turned 92 and was in the hospital again. This time, for good. The night before, Kaitlyn was spending the
night with her dad. I had prepared her easter basket for when she came home
easter morning. About 930ish in the morning, I was scrolling facebook, like I normally
did. MY friend had posted a picture of her making some pinapple upside down
cakes with her daughters. That instant, made me think of gram, only because she
had been bugging me to make it for her.
A few minutes later, I got a phone call from her hospital
where she was staying. They immediately asked for my dad. He was calm talking
to the hospital. After a little while, he came and talked to everyone. Told us
that Grandma had just passed. We were all heartbroken.
My grandmother was my rock. She was always there for
me. When I was in high school, she had a
stroke. (That’s part of the reason I gave up basketball). After every important event, she would always
tell me she wanted to see me do another. When I graduated high school, she said
“Im gonna watch you graduate college”. Im very sad that she will never see me
walk down the aisle to get married either. Kaitlyn misses her all the time.
Even though shes been gone for 3 years, it still hurts.
Easter will never be the same again.
