Personal Narrative: Christmas, Easter And Thanksgiving
Death is a natural part of life, everything will eventually fade away, however, I just didn't think my grandma would go through it so soon. Before my grandma’s death in 2006, I was always ecstatic to be around her and any day spent with her was going to be a good one. I would always visit her for Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving; every time I went over there I knew I would leave her house very upbeat thanks to her. Her death created a ripple effect in my family that could never be recovered from. Although this event did forge ripples, my family and I were able to rise up from the ashes and become happy again even without her presence there.

Before my grandma’s departure, I was always happy and I never thought about the negative things

    This is the first time I was in American and also I lived alone. Due to that, lacking of caring from parents is obvious. Fortunately, I met and stayed in your family at Christmas Break. Thanks to your family’s niceness, I am not homesick anymore. Christmas and New Year are the best time to gather all member in your family together, so thank you for sharing that most wonderful time to me. Although New Year Day in United States was passed, Lunar New Year in Vietnam is coming. Moreover, Lunar New Year is the most perfect time to say “thank you”. I believe 2016 will bring you the warmth of love and fulfill all your wishes.…

    I could tell people this is why I don’t try or want to do anything but I don’t because I know that my grandma would never want. I feel that anyone going through the loss of a friend or family member should always think of the positive outlook instead of the negative. Looking at the negative side of it can create all different kinds of problems for a person. If you look at the positive you can use that as motivation to do anything in life. Life can get hard but you can never let the hardships depict and destroy your life. You aren’t on this earth for a long time so you have to make the best of…

    My Thanksgiving break was pretty good. On Thanksgiving, I went to Indiana to my cousins' house. It was a two-hour drive, so it wasn't that long. All of my cousins are older than me- literally, all of my cousins even from I don't know where. The only people younger than me are my siblings so I'm not the youngest of ALL the people. Anyways, we had eaten all of the thanksgiving things you can possibly eat. I loved thanksgiving this year and I can't wait next year.…

    In the fall every year my aunt, uncle, their older kids (from Edmonton) and two cousins (who are at a school at BYU in Utah) all drove to my house for Thanksgiving. My brother, two sisters and i get very enthusiastic and we help every way that can, to give our parents a hand to clean up. We have 2.5 acres of land and a small forest in our yard (which we call the bush [because of its size]). The bush is where my brother and i use our imaginations to build fort and make our outdoor ‘‘man cave’’. Behind our bush is the trans-Canada trail (which we had to sell some our property for it), but it is a great place for lemonade stands for my family to have fun. After the trail is a dirt road that is our shortcut to Blackfalds…

    When I found out my grandmother had Breast Cancer I was filled with solicitude and anxiety. My grandmother became despondent and ashamed of her cancer, and as her hair started to fall out, I noticed the nervousness in her eyes which caused me to be more concerned. A week later she had to go into surgery. Knowing my grandmother was going through such a life-changing event, I wasn't able to be myself. It was difficult to concentrate in class or conversed with my friends. All I could think about was my grandmother. I played sports and become more involved in church to help keep my mind off it. I would pray she was going to be okay. I panic over the fact I might lose her, so I would cry myself to sleep.

    In January of 2012 my great grandmother, Charlena Ware, died. Everybody in my family was impacted by her passing, even my extended family. Her funeral was a family reunion of sorts. Although many members of my family were affected greatly by her passing, her death was the worst event in my life that I can remember. Before her passing, my great grandfather, Horace Ware, was the first to pass. From what my family tells me his death was the same caliber of tragedy as my grandmother’s. And after that, my grandmother on my dad’s side and my first dog died. However, my great grandmother’s death affected me the most out of any of those. In part because of my age, and in part because of the many memories I had of her.…

    It was the last Thanksgiving that my grandparents were there for. How could we ever expect them to be, they slept in small cases underneath the grass. Nonetheless it was merry, still filled with so much “family” that I had never met and I still flinched at the words, “do you remember me?” that parted from unrecognized lips. There was Aunt Helen’s famous apple pie, and the six turkeys, and the dogs running around in the backyard.…
