CHRISTOPHER MERRICK'S STORY

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 bright lights and how the machines were all over the place. The place was huge, I mean it held a lot of rooms. I remember my grandmothe’s room was 829. My grandmother was a 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 a 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 woke up. My granny was up in the sky, she was with Jesus. The place and the strangest thing I had ever seen, with tubes and 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.
