“The saddest day of my life was when my grandfather died. It was the last day of school before Thanksgiving break and my brother was giving me a ride home from school. I remember he was playing upbeat music and we were laughing and talking. I almost regret feeling so happy before getting home but I didn’t know what had happened. I remember walking into my house and seeing my mom and dad crying. They sat me and my brother down in the living room and told us what had happened and I couldn’t even cry at first because of how shocked I was. After a bit I couldn’t stop crying. It was really upsetting because nobody could have seen it coming. I had plans to go over to his house and help him decorate for Christmas that week. I ended up reaching out to a friend who I had lost contact with and now she’s my closest friend. It was the saddest day of my life but it ended up bringing me a closer to a lot of people and I’m grateful for it.”
