A year ago during my cousin’s graduation, we get a call saying that my grandmother isn’t feeling well. Later on that night I found out that she had experienced a brain hemorrhage and that she was not recovering. After two days in the hospital, my grandmother passed away. My family and I were devastated because it was so unexpected. But the person who I felt suffered the most was my mom. When we found out that my grandmother passed away I didn’t want to cry in front of my mom because I knew it would make her feel worse and I knew I had to be strong for her. Although I was extremely sad I felt that I couldn’t let my mom see me like that because I knew it would make it harder for her.  For the next few months I was always by my mom’s side making sure that she was ok and helping her with whatever she needed. Although this moment in my life was one of the hardest and saddest ever, it matured me and made me stronger because it made me realize that no matter what happens I have to stay strong and get through it.
