After the euphoria of graduation, what followed was a family tragedy as my grandmother passed away.
Although i don't live with her but she's a grandma who is greatly concerned about me and my family's welfare.
I felt consoled that at her last moments, the whole family was around her and she saw everyone. At times, it was difficult to watch as i knew someone was going to pass away infront of my eyes. Every breath of hers was almost her last.
The funeral lasted 7 days and my cousins and I spent our days eating like gluttons. We spent the nights holding the place together and we slept together on a bed. It's been a long time since we did that.
This 7 days also enabled me to see some absoutely low life scums. My take is just shut the fuck up if you are a bankrupt. If you are almost 60 and you are still taking pocket money from your deceased father, then you are of course an absolute disgrace.
In the end, it was quite painful to see someone close to me being cremated. It was a cruel process but life goes on and she lives in our memory forever.
