We were all sitting on the couch
Talking about you
how we would all fit in the house
All nine of us
How were we all going to live in a 4 bed room house
And so many questions popped in my head
Ring
The phone rings
I get up and answer it
?Hello? the voice said on the other line
?hey?
?is christen there ??
??yeah hole on a min??
I gave the phone to my aunt
We sat and waited for her to get off the phone
She got off
She was in tears
We sat in silence for what felt like 10 hours
She stopped
We all asked
??what?s wrong??
She didnt want to tell us but she had to
?? that was the hospital??.
And they called to say something about grandma
They hung up?
??I?m calling them back??
We sat and waited again
When she got off the phone this time she was crying so hard
We all asked ?what is wrong??
She told us that
??Grandma is well she died?
I ran to the wall and hit my head and cried
Yelling
?WHY WHY GOD WHY HER I LOVE HER
I NEVER GOT TO SAY I LOVE YOU TO HER
OR GOODBYE??
My brother came over and told me its OK don?t worry
I was crying so hard I dint care who was by me I hugged him and said
?WHY HER WE LOVE HER SOO MUCH??
With tears coming down my face they were unstoppable
And my brother was crying just as hard
?? Robyn I know I know I miss her too
God had a plan and that was for her to raise us to be good people
And for auntie to do the rest??
So I guess god has a bigger plan for u then u have for yourself
I cried my self to sleep every night that year
I?m memory of
