Here is a part of my book, Share Thoughts Please! Day: January 3, 2006. My grandmother says my name means wise and determined. I always loved when I would read to her and she would say I'm an "early bloomer'. My grandma also said that my name means "healing of the body". Those were the days of her praise, Just me, my mom, my sister, my dad, and my grandmother. Till it was all taken. We were all in the car, My mom was driving. We were doing karaoke, laughing and just telling jokes. The cars next to us were speeding....My mom was worried. Then the car crashed into the wall beside us and then hit into where my grandma was sitting. My mom screamed and said "MOM!..C-Come on stay with me..!!" My grandma laying there with her blood dripping down, lifeless. I was frozen and just stared at my mom sob her heart out and then everything went black. I woke up in my bed at home to my sister crying over me. "Oh my god...You're finally awake. Get up and put on that dress so we can go." my sister said sternly with a angry look. When my sister finally got out of my room, I got changed into the short black dress with some black velvet boots. I walked downstairs with my side purse just to see my mom crying more while looking at a picture of the family. When my mom saw me, She got up and walked out the door to the car. I looked deeply at my sister and she just rolled her eyes and walked out with my mom. I followed to the car and we drove in silence till we got to the funeral church. I walked up to the casket just to see my grandma look lifeless but still living with counterfeit make-up. We all took our seats for the reception and I sat there looking like I am in and out of my soul. I kept blacking out and then coming back until the end of the reception to see my mom basically dragging me and my sister out of the church. I asked her "Mom! Where are we going!". She told me to shut up and threw me and my sister into the car, then we drove in silence. When we got home, I only heard her screaming at us to shower and get ready for our first day of school tomorrow. I went to my room, slammed the door shut, and then laid down to get ready for years without my grandma.
