Personal Narrative: Seeing My Grandma Again
Memoir Seeing my grandma again is always fun. The first couple of days with just my family in Florida were okay. On the way to Florida my mom told me that my cousins were coming to visit too right after they stop by Texas first to see their other grandma. I couldn’t understand why they would go all the way to Texas and then Florida in just a 2 week period. But I didn’t care I was still really excited to see them. Where I live I’m the only girl around. I have only 2 brothers. I’m surrounded by boy at my house and have been my whole life. So when I heard that there are going to be girls around to hang out with girls on my vacation I got really excited. At first when my cousins arrived I didn’t know it was them because they had a rental car. …show more content…
We had to get up really early like 5:30 in the morning to go. I’m pretty sure that my cousins left that day too. This was the first time we have met Kenny and his daughters for all I remember of. My dad has mentioned him before to me about one of his daughters dance recital how she wanted me to go. Both of Kenny’s daughters are dancers but one is now 18 years old her name is Gabby and the other is 10 years old whose name is Kelsie. Kelsie’s dance recital is the one she wanted me to go to so that she could meet me and hang out with me but this was years ago. I never went because we were doing something else instead. So on the way to Siesta Key we were all sleeping because it was a long drive and really early in the morning. When we got there it was about the middle of the day the sun was out and the sand was real. What I mean by the sand is real is it was pure white and soft and cold. The sand by the lakes and beaches in Michigan is not real it doesn’t feel real or look real. We hung out with Kenny’s daughters and played a bunch of games such as, mother may I mafia, and tag etc. They are really nice and fun to hang out with too. Then we got ready to go because we had to leave the next morning to go home. We couldn’t spend the night there we had to go to a hotel because there wasn’t enough room for all of us to fit in that

    Per Reporter: “Marshall lives with his Unknown Grandmother. Marshall is intellectually disabled. On today, while out seeing my client Marshall, his grandmother became upset because after having a discussion about who should be the overseer of Marshall’s disability check. I stated to her that if she really wants to care for Marshall, it shouldn’t matter whose overseer of his check.

    the first time I saw my grandmother braid her hair, I was instantly astonished. The way she maneuvered her hands as she glided the hair between each finger, overlapping each strand of hair onto the next, was so delicate and precise. The finished braid dangled down her back, reaching all the way to her waistline, it reminisced that of a princess, from the storybooks I had seen. I knew only after moments of watching her, this was something I had to accomplish; easier said than done.…

    My grandma's condition wasn't anything but hard for me and my family to deal with. Everyday with her was a roller coaster that held many twists and turns and couldn't stay on the track. If you didn't hold on tight, you’d thrown off. You never knew what she would remember each morning that she woke. Some days she would know the date and she was aware of her surroundings, while other days (which weren’t so great), she'd be back in time when her husband was alive and she’d call for him. Then she’d be puzzled as to why he wouldn't call her name back. When my mom would bear her the bad news he has been gone for years, my great grandma turned as silent as a mouse for the remainder of the day, wallowing in her sorrow. Yet, as her memory faded, mine…

    Walking into work I smell the aromas of a nursing home. I hear the sounds of wheel chairs and walkers scraping against the hard wood surface. As I walk to station one, I stop by the break room to store my food. The room is full of people charting the prior shift. Walking out of the room, I continue to station one. Finding the cork board with the neon green paper, I see what hall I am working. There is only my name and one other on spring hall. I know it is going to be a rough night; but at the end, I will remember my goal, which is helping others.…

    I was raised in a small, but familiar town on the outskirts of Tallahassee known as Havana. A place where everyone practically knows everyone that lives there. My hometown upholds a sense of charm and southern hospitably in the atmosphere, with the many boutiques and restaurants for one to enjoy. However, I feel that it is a place where more mature individuals could appreciate (like adults), due to its historical nature. To be honest, other than going to school with my friends, as a child there really wasn’t much for me to do when the summer rolled in. Especially, since I was the only girl in a house with two brothers. In fact, majority of my summer vacation was spent at home, with my annoying brothers, “The Terrible Two”. Well, at least that’s what I called them, because they were always finding a way to make fun out of torturing me. From being hit by water balloons unexpectedly, to waking with burning lips from the hot sauce they put on them while I was sleeping, pretty much describes the “summer” moments of my childhood; at least the ones spent with brothers. Until, I suddenly had an epiphany, and begged my mother to let me stay with my grandmother while I school wasn’t in; or at least until she made it home from work. Of course she asked why; although she knew how much my brothers would tease me. She just told me it was there way of showing “brotherly” love, but she understood how annoying it could be, because she too was raised among all boys; in which worked out in my favor, because I no longer spent the summer’s home. She accepted my plea to be free from the “Terrible Two,” and Grandma’s house was to be my new location for summer vacation, which I enjoyed every bit of.…
