Saddest Day

The saddest day of my life The saddest day of my life was probably the day my grandpa passed away. Not only was he my grandfather, but he was my best friend, and with whom I shared the happiest moments of my life. Everything was great and I lived in a peaceful world. Until a horrible thing happened and everything changed.

I was in another room when I heard my grandma yell for me. When I came into the room my grandpa was lying in the floor. I laid down beside him and held his hand. I didn’t know what was going on, my grandma and parents explained it to me and in that moment I felt an immense sadness in my heart, that moment was when I could understand everything and knew what was going on, and I knew that I would never again see my grandpa.

After I tried to understand what had happened, my family and some friends met us at the church for the funeral to give one last good bye to my best friend. It was the first funeral of my life. I didn’t know what to expect or do I just knew we had to dress nice and wear black. I will never forget it because it was a really sad day, it was my first funeral and everyone was crying and hugging each other. I will never forget him or all the memories we had together.

When the funeral had finished, all people went together to the cemetery. Some men had already prepared everything for it. When we arrived, the men who carried my grandfather, let us see him for the last time, when I got close to my grandfather I couldn`t believe that the person that was always happy and laughing, now was quiet. In that moment, I felt confusion and loneliness. My grandfather and my best friend would never be with me again.

I knew that I would have an angel watching over me and my family, but I had lost my best friend. Since that moment until now, I only have memories of my grandpa of whom I spent great times in my life with. That day was the saddest in my life

    According to my own experiences, I lost two of my precious best friends and they taught me really good lessons before leaving me, they taught me how to never trust any kind of person because they were taught that way and told me to never trust anyone, because now or later they are going to stab your back. One of my other experiences was that moment that my grand-mother left us, before her death, she used to tell us “I don’t want to leave all of you feeling sad, in my death I want to see all of you smiling”. When she left us, she left everyone smiling. Even in her funeral, people celebrated like it was a wedding and not a funeral.…

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

    I was coming home from school after looking forward to petting my dogs and then putting my football stuff on for practice. The wind was picking up, and a cloud had briefly blocked the direct sun. I had gotten to my house and seen my mom in a lawn chair drinking water in the backyard, which was unusual as she was still typically at work. I walked into the backyard and said hi when she said " Joe, Wade is dying."…

    I couldn’t believe it. He was very young, and seemed to be quite healthy. At that minute, my whole family sat around the living room sobbing our eyes out. It was probably the saddest moment of my life. For this reason, my family drove over to my Grandma’s house to meet the rest of my family. Once we got there, everyone was not doing well at all. We all mourned together for the next few days. During those few days, I noticed how everyone in our family accompanied each other, and how close we all became. I now realize that family is the most important thing, and they will always be there for…

    I realized that a lot of families and individuals have experienced even more and unfortunate deaths toward family members, friends, and just loved ones in general. For me writing this essay put me in that same emotional state of mind that I had experienced when both my grandmother and babysitter had passed. That is why today I hold a strong and loving relationship with my family and friends, because when the time comes God is calling one of them home, and that you know, they know, and God knows that you both had a fun ride without any…

I pushed the negative thoughts out of my brain and painted a happy picture in my mind.…
