The day I was given the news was a cold Saturday. My mom sat me on the floor and opened her mouth to give me the most 1 words I'd ever heard: “Grandma Billie has been diagnosed with cancer.” Tears filled my eyes immediately. Mom continued, “Grandma is old and her body is too 2 . There’s nothing they can do to treat her.” I knew this wasn't my mom’s fault but I was so 3 . I was almost yelling at my mom, “So, they’re just going to let her 4 ?”
We had to just wait for her to die. I couldn't even 5 the thought. We went to the hospital right away. The doctor said, “Billie has a tumor in her 6 . She won't be able to 7 because it hurts her too much. One option is a feeding tube, but there are times when it will be uncomfortable.” At the end, the doctor sighed, “With a feeding tube, she would probably have three 8 at most.”
My whole family on my mom’s side was really 9 and they were all looking to God to make this easy. I couldn't handle it. If God was so wonderful and so 10 then why did he allow all these awful things to happen to good people? Why was he letting my grandma die?
I came and visited every day after 11 practice. Grandma would tell me the 12 stories over and over again, but every time I was just as surprised and excited to hear them. She was getting 13 really fast and every time I came to see her it broke my heart more.
3 weeks later, after the softball practice, I was getting ready to see grandma when mom appeared in the locker room. She opened her mouth but at first no words came out. She 14 again, “You can’t go to see grandma today because she just died.” Silence. I couldn’t 15 anyone else in the room. Mom sat next to me and we both held each other and cried.
