I’m missing school tomorrow due to my grandmother’s wake.
I’m going to have to stand near her dead body and tell people that it’s alright she passed and I’m alright. In reality I want a closed casket. I don’t want those memories of her, laying there. I also just want to cry hard. Instead I have to pull it together and hug people who I hardly know and try not to act as upset as I am.
Thursday is her funeral. It will be held at her church-a catholic church. I will be forced to hear how she is in heaven. When in reality I do not believe in a heaven. But I will sit quietly and listen to my family’s sad reveries of a woman I did not know long enough.
So to whoever reads this post keep in mind: hug your parents, pets, friends, family. Let them know how much you care about them.
Because in the end they are all you’ll ever have. And they will be the only ones who love you no matter what.
Edit: Thank you Catie :)
