“It was Nothing but the Hospital”


It was the strangest thing I had ever seen, with tubes and wires; I was so young then I think I was only four. My grandmother was in a bed; the only things I could remember was now bright the lights were, and the machines were all over the place. The place was huge, I mean it held a lot of rooms. I remember my grandmothers room number was 829. My grandmother was woman who was always filled with joy, nothing but positive things to say. The last thing I heard my grandmother say is “I love you baby, just walk with God and He’ll never let you go.
Soon everything became ambiguous to me; I saw my grandmother laying in a nice box. I said to my father is grandma sleep, why isn’t she getting up. I knew my grandmother hated when we turned on the lights while she was trying to sleep. While my grandmother was laying in the box, most of my family members were crying. I thought to myself that she was only sleeping, but that was not the case.
My grandmother was sleeping, and little did I know she never walking up. My granny was up in the sky, she was with Jesus. The place and the strangest thing I had ever seen, with tubes wires was a place called a hospital. I thought to myself I never want to go back there again, because it was the place were my grandmother had the tubes and the wires.
