14: LET GO
My grandfather passed away when I was young, and I couldn't remember him at all.
My mother died during my birth, and he followed soon after her.
I wasn't sure how my grandma survived losing her husband and her daughter, the two people who were so close to her.
It was another reason I wouldn't let her lose me.
"He would beam whenever he looked at you. He adored you so much."
I loved when she spoke about my grandfather.
Her entire face would light up, and the love she had for him was evident, even after all these years since his passing.
I longed for love like that someday.
Maybe not today or tomorrow, but one day I will find it.
I would just have to endure this arrangement for a while and cherish the time I had left with my grandmother.
Life seemed to be about living
