Life Changing Event

One of the things that really changed my life was when my grandpap died. I learned that losing someone who is really close to you hurts every body in your family and that your true friends will help you out with getting throw what had happen. Well the day before my grandpap died I did not go see him and we had a party because someone had a Banda and everyone was dancing and drinking and having fun. Well yea we had a great time my parents were dancing and my sister and me dance together and it was fun everyone had a great time. But after dancing and everything I got tried so I went with my friends that were around and we talked for a well and everything.

Then like at midnight the Banda said that they were done because that’s all that the guy paid them to play for. So then my dad was having a great time and he played them for two more hours. So we all dance until like 2:00 am. Then well my brother was drunk so I had to walk with him home and he almost got ran over because he was playing chicken with a car. Which I thought was dumb but what ever. So we got home like 20 minutes later and we went to sleep.

Then well I work up and my sister said Armando get up and put your clothes on and go to your grandma’s house. I told her why and she just told me grandpap is die yesterday in the night. I started to cry because I thought about how much I cared about him and everything he gave me and everything we talked about and all that stuff. So I got up and I work up my little brother Ivan because I had to put his clothes on so that we could leave and then we left and we were walking down so that we could go to my grandma’s. But then my dad came by with the car and he told us to get on and we did and he’s like you how your grandpap died and I was like yea and he’s like where you going and I was like with my grandma and he’s like no go with your mom.

So I told him yea so that he would not have a hard time with us. But when he was driving us there he started to cry and that hurt me a lot because I have never in my life seen my dad cry and I was not use to it. So I started to cry just because I never thought I see my dad cry and I don’t like seeing that. That’s one thing in my life that I hope that I will not have to see ever again. We got to my grandma’s house and my little brother saw my dad crying when we were in the car.

But it did not hurt him until he saw me cry when we got out the car. He just started asking Armando what’s wrong and I told him to go watch TV. He saw my sister crying too and then he started to cry. But we did not tell him until later but when I was crying my cousin Lucy came and told me everything was going to be okay that he's in a better place and everything. That made me feel better but I still felt bad so my aunt came and gave me some weird nasty tea that’s was going to help me relax.

Later on that day we all went to the funeral home were they had him at and went to go see him. they were praying for him and everything right there. But I could not take it so I left and went outside and then one of my friends came and saw that I was crying and everything and he’s like what’s wrong and I told him what happen and told me that it be okay that you still see him when you go to heaven. So yea guess he told a lot of the people in el Monte because later on in the night I went out because I wanted to get my mind of my grandpap. So went to la plaza and there was a lot people that dad and every body went up to me and asked if I was okay and all that stuff. Which all that made me feel a lot better because you know I felt like I would get throw it now.

So yea the day went on and like at 10:30 my brother came looking for me because my mom wanted to talk to me. So she told me that they were going to pray all night because that’s what they do when someone dies there and then torrow we were going to church and that we were going to put him in him tombstone. That to tell my cousin Neto if I could stay at his house to night and he said yea and well we went and he just made everything better cousin he told me right now your grandpap is looking down on you and watching over you and you should be happy for that. So he made me happier and then we went to his house. the next day I went to get a hair cut and to get my clothes from the house and went down to church.

Then it was cloud and it had been for 2 weeks now ever since we got there it had rained. Then the church was over and we went to put him away. So we walked there and carried the him up to the cemetery and it started to rain there. But after we put him in his tombstone to rest it stop raining for a long time which I believed was because my grandpap wanted everything to shine and for everyone to be happy not sad no more because he always wanted the best for everyone in the world. But after that day I learn how much losing someone can hurt and I learn that people will show you a lot of love when you need it and when it comes time to they will always try to make you feel better and I know right now my grandpap had been looking over me and I always pray to him at night and I always will remember those days because of all the thing that had happen in that time.
