The Lost of a Friend

Almost everyone on this earth has had some experience that sticks in the back of his or her minds. This experience can be happy such as prom night, a wedding day, or the first time driving a car. This experience can also be traumatic, and sad such as witnessing a crime, or losing something or someone that is important and loved very much. Losing someone in the family to Alzheimer's disease and dementia can be a devastating and a daunting ordeal. That someone was my grandmother.

On a cold, dreary and rainy Saturday, October 8, 2005, I was up talking to my Granny Frances at six o' clock in the morning. First, at the dining room table while eating her breakfast, Granny Frances replied, "Back when I was a little girl me and Denis would go to church with our Aunt Dora. The people in the church would get to shouting and we would run hiding. When Aunt Dora would get to shouting Denis would say "Woman don't you start nothing up in here." I just laughed and looked at Granny Frances in amazement as she ate her bacon, grits and toast. Next, I kissed her Granny Frances and went back to sleep cause she had to go to work at 11:00 a.m. that same day. While at work, I thought about something that Granny Frances said earlier that morning. What Granny Frances said was "Promise me one thing, Sugamama, if something was to happen to me, I want you to stay in school no matter what you hear!"

That is until; we went up to the desk to check out our books out. Granny Frances was nowhere to be found; I waited a whole hour on her. Come to find out she had took the 39 BX bus home. When I got here, I asked her what happen to her in the library. Granny Frances replied, "I had to piss" and got mad and started screaming like a banshee.

At 10:00 p.m. that same night mom and I were about to go to sleep for the night. Then they heard Granny Frances come out of her bedroom door stating, "Put your clothes back on, I can not breathe. Beverly came down the stairs half sleep. Next, mom and I helped Granny Frances to the bathroom to get her washed up. Granny Frances then says to Lotta Joy and Beverly "You all are trying to push me I am going to call the police on the both of you and say that you all are trying to abuse me. Next Granny Frances started saying, "Yeah the people in the airways are trying to kill me. The airways already took my son away from me, I despise all of you I hate you all's guts." Mom and I looked in disbelief and shock. Finally, we got her down the stairs to the front door for fresh air. After that, the ambulance came. When they arrived, they asked, "Why did you call us?" Granny Frances replied, "I called you all because I can not breathe,"
