This is a story about my grandmother. She was my favorite grandmother and the best grandmother in the world.

Evervone I used to know loved my grandma because she was kind to everyone. She kept the house in very nice order and whenever one of my uncles or aunties got married or something they could leave all the arrangements for my grandma. She made everything look so easy and perfect.

But a very, very sad thing happened round about August 1974. She started to get sick. My grandfather, aunties and uncles were really worried about grandma’s health, and every day they used to feed her, pray for her and they did everything but one day in November she died in hospital. It was a shock to everyone because they all loved her so much. When grandma was dead everything seemed to change. And when Christmas came that year, it was quieter than other Christmas. Nothing will ever be the same without our beloved grandmother whom everyone loved. I will always remember her.
