My moment of being is when my grandpa passed away from cancer. This was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I can remember the day like it was yesterday. My family and I were staying with my grandparents at the time. It was great because I got to be with my grandparents.
That day was going great until my grandpa was complaining he couldn’t breath and my aunt told him the reason why he couldnt really breath was because he kept on taking out his oxygen mask, so he would put it back on then take it out. Later that day he started getting really sick he was losing breath and could not move his body as much. He could not lift his arms and he was saying so many things such as I am going to die, Its my time, I love you guys so much. And when he said those things I started crying because I could not stand the fact that my grandpa was no longer going to be with me. I was very close to him. My dad called a nurse from the hospital to come and check if he is ok. When she arrived she came in and was checking my grandpa. And she said It is his time. He is going to die in a few hours, when I heard those words come out of her mouth I started crying so much. It was like someone had just shot me, it was the worst thing.
My family and I were with my grandpa the whole time we gave him hugs and kisses. It was really hard to see him like this because he was suffering but he was holding on as long as he could. My other family members came to say their last goodbyes to him. He could barely talk but
I was still talking to him telling him that I love him so much and thanking him for everything he
has done for me and telling him he was like my dad. It was about 11:30 we were all surrounded by him, he slowly stopped breathing, then he stopped and my dad closed his eyes. And I just fell to the ground. After this happened I started thinking more about life, about my family. And I told myself that great
