One of the moments that marked my life was when my great-grandfather died. I was living in Aguascalientes, Mexico; it was on a Sunday (I remember that because every Sunday I was at my uncle's house.) Suddenly my uncle received a call from my grandfather; he was letting him know that my great-grandfather Raul was in the hospital. They talked thirty minutes on the phone and later my uncle talked to my dad.
"We have to go to see him", Roberto, my uncle, told my dad.
"Ok, let me tell Iker to get ready", my dad answered him.
I asked my dad if I was going with him, but he told me no. I was going to stay with my mom and my aunt. The time passed slowly, I was nervous and worried. Hours later my uncle called my aunt; my eyes were closed hoping to hear good news I started crying. I hugged my mom and she told me, "Don't worry; everything will be alright". My great-grandfather was an old man, bur he was strong. I knew that he was sick, but I didn't imagine that he was going to end in the hospital about to die. My aunt looked at us with tears in her face, she finished talking with my uncle in the phone and then she told us; "He didn't make it".
I took a big sigh, holding my tears. I asked my aunt, "What are we going to do now?".
"We are going tomorrow to his funeral", she answered me with rain drops on her face.
On our way there I started thinking of all the memories that I made with him and all the beautiful memories that we had together. I couldn't believe that now he was gone. I got that feeling when you want to tell someone how much you love him. He was my angel since I was little; I knew that everything was going to change.
When I got to the funeral, the first thing that I saw was his picture with white roses. Then I saw my Uncle Leif, my dad's brother, and he told me, "Don't worry princess; everything is alright." When he told me that I started crying and I asked him, "But what I am going to do now without him?" He hugged me and told me, "Cry that will make you feel better.
