Our Angel, My Grandmother A hot summer’s day on the beach, then suddenly it’s dark and gloomy, and I see someone through the mist, someone I have seen before. “It can’t be,” I say to myself. Then I get closer to fi nd an angel, my grandmother. I’ve missed her so much with my heart fi lled with grief and her in front of me made me realize that I didn’t want to lose her again, so I walked away. It was hard, but I did. Then something changed, I ran toward her, she ran toward me and I hugged her then she disappeared. I was left in the rain crying, but I knew I did the right thing. REST in PEACE, I LOVE YOU, GRANDMA. I will love you forever. YOU’RE MY TRUE ANGEL. We Will Love You Always Stanley, Dena, Danielle, Kris, Johnny, Marisa, Kris, Sienna & Baby John (Tripp)
