        Everyone has a life changing moment that can either reflex upon you in a negative way

or positive way. A time in my life Iv’e come to my seance’s was a life and death situation that

accursed in my family. My closest grandmother had passed away when I was at the age of 18,

years old. She was the closest family relative Iv’e come to thresher dearly in my heart. She was

a wonderful, caring most hubble person I’d ever known. I can remember the times of hardship

that became an infection in my life or the memorable memories I shared with her. She was like

my mother you can say someone who automatically can open you up with out a force of

explanation.

           It was that time I looked at life in a way to really appreciate those I truly care for around

me. My grandmother by the name of, Bea G. was only 70 years old when she had passed away

from lung cancer. A highly nicotine object that kills billions of people as time goes by now,

cigarettes. She was a chain smoker there wouldn’t be a moment I’d see here with our a cigarette

in her hand. Even so that I knew what the effects where and how highly life risking it was

to people I was unable to put a stop to her bad habit. 

             I can remember times I’ve tried to explain to her the effects of smoking how if effects the

body and lungs. It’s was difficult to explain to someone who’s been smoking most there lives,

Its almost as if I were explaining to a child of playing with there food. Though I loved her so

and cared about her health there were times I would see new packs of cigarettes lying around. My
only attempt was to trash them away as if they were never seen lying around. Though at times

trying to convince her and the changes that became exitance to my attention she was getting

ill.

         I couldn’t imagine the feeling of seeing her pass away from her bad habits in a way I began

to chance myself. Becoming so caring and giving her the attention she needed and help to be sure
she’d attend her doctor appointments for check up. I was believing I was becoming her mother as
she was towards myself. An unbearable feeling I held upon me wishing I  had a cure to remove

all the damage and affection in her lungs. Though Im no, God to have the power to cure my

grandmother, but I had to except reality that she was dieing.

            It’s everyones fear is losing that someone special in your life though all we can do is hope

and come to our prayers for those to get well. With all the coughing and grasping for air hearing

her wheezing as she’d walk around. Its was a matter of time that I knew deep down inside her

life line was close to an end. A day that I was a work was when I had received a phone call from

my mother explaining that my grandmother was at the, St. Jhons hospital. My heart dropped

unable to hold myself together at work I had broken down in tiers. I was dismissed from my

work to attend the hospital where my grandmother was rested for recovery. When I had arrived

at the hospital rushing inside I asked what room my grandmother was in. As I had found the

room I began to cry holding her begging her to, “ quit smoking.”

             There was nothing I could do feeling so helpless and sorrow inside It was now up to the

nurses and doctors to watch other my grandmother. She was held there for a week straight

because of her condition, but then after my family had gotten the notice that she wasn’t

going to live much longer. I couldn’t handle anymore of what was going on or what was

about to happen, by the time I knew It she had passed away the next morning. Though I loved her

so I had A change in heart to encourage those who need help those who are blinded by there

bad habits. She will always have that effect and impact in my life  of being the voice

that will be heard  a voice of help.
