Happines but a Sadness to a Lost
By: Paul Lacarta
Finding Out The Truth
I walk in the house and say,” Hi,” to my grandpa. My grandfather is now skinny and fragile as glass, “his sick,” my mom says. While growing up my grandfather was sick, my sister and I didn’t know he was sick while growing up and now we knew. I walk around the neighborhood or compound where you can go door to door and its family right next to one another. I walk around thinking what I’m going to do the next 2 month I’m here.
Celebrating The Last and Final Birthday
It’s now July 6, 2010, my grandfather’s birthday and maybe his last, pictures are being taken left and right. There was a D.J and a big stereo, my cousin starts to dance with me when I start to do the Dougie and the Jerk. My grandfather’s party is now coming to an end so we light up fireworks and celebrates. It’s now time for my grandfather to go in and rest, we all say, “goodnight and mahal kita.” (I love you)
Watching The Suffer of Death
We have now been in school for 2 months, it’s now November and the weather is now just starting to cool down. As I get home my sister says, “Get ready for tomorrow.” I didn’t realize how serious it was until Nov. 6 2010. My sister and aunt start Skyping. The camera faced at my grandfather who is now lying in the death bed. I watch him suffer as his breath gets shorter and shorter; his heart rate gets slower and slower. Everyone is now crying as we watch my grandpa suffer, my grandfather is now taking his one last breath and flat lines on the heart monitor. We’re all screaming, “No, comeback!!!”
Life Gives a Punch in The Face
As I get home my sister says, “Get ready for tomorrow.” I didn’t realize how serious it was until Nov. 6 2010. My sister and aunt start Skyping. The camera faced at my grandfather who is now lying in the death bed. I watch him suffer as his breath gets shorter and shorter; his heart rate gets slower and slower. Everyone is now crying as we watch my grandpa suffer, my grandfather is now taking his one last breath and flat lines on the heart monitor. We’re all screaming, “No, comeback!!!”
Can't Get Back What I lost
All the time I wasted and took for granted is now gone with grandfather and wish to be taken back.
Life Taught Me A Lesson
This experience gave me a new way to handle life. I don't take chances for granted or life for granted. Life can't always be your way, make sure you make what you can out of life. No life is easy if you take life the easy way life will fail you.
