The Road Of Death

"Go to bed" mom yelled.

"But mom" I pouted.

"No but moms, go to bed" she responded.

I went straight up to the bathroom to get ready to go to bed when I heard a noise coming from down stairs.... almost like crying.... but I left it alone because I wasn't sure whether I was to be apprehensive or whether I was to be minding my own business.

Anyway I was going to get tucked in when I heard mom frantically scrambling upstairs.... obviously then I knew I should be apprehensive!!!

"Mom.... is everything okay?" I said cautiously.

"Honey.... this is going to be hard to say but your grandpa has diabetes and is in the hospital right now" she conclusively responded.

"Is he okay, mom?" I said concerned.

"I don't know yet.... but I have a feeling we're going to hear from dad soon." she said longing for dad to respond or call for some more news. I thought that we were going to have to wait all night to get a call from dad about grandpa.

"I'm sure everything is going to be okay" I said almost doubtingly."

"Don’t be so sure" she said trying to hold back the tears.

"Mom, don't say that" I said almost about to burst.

" Honey you could think that but if he does die don't be so surprised" she said trying to sound loving. Well he did eventually did die. Thoughts were skimming through my mind like why him? what did he do to deserve this? I learned that not everything is meant to be understood.
