C This is a story about my grandmother . She was my favorite grandmother , and the best grandmother in the
world.Everyone 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 my Grandma was dead, everything seemed to change. And when Christmas came that
year, it was quieter than other Christmas because Grandma wasn’t there and everything was different . Whenever
my Grandpa was by himself he used to stay in his room and cry to himself and sometimes when Mum sees my
Grandpa unhappy , she invites him to stay over at our place. But still nothing will ever be the same without our
