• I've said it all day to my friends, my teachers, my family, that I wouldn't go but I went by the funeral home anyways. The one close to where I live. That's where they were having her wake and that's where she was. I was on th bus on my way home. I knew I was gonna pass it and I didn't want to. But I did anyways. I looked out the window, saw people and ran out. I was already holding back tears that I hoped no one would notice. Everyone was either crying or was talking. I found my grandma's friend and I asked for my grandma. She said my grandma was inside seeing her. I didn't wanna go in. I stood before the doors and I hesitate but I went in anyways. I was inside and didn't see my grandma anywhere. On the other side of the lobby I saw the door leading to where 'she' was. I walked slowly in that direction so I could find my grandma and make sure she was alright but....something kept me from seeing 'her', from seeing Amparo because my grandma came out crying hysterically. The reason was because visiting hours was only until 8pm and it was past that hour. I was lucky. I don't know what or who kept me from seeing her but I thank them because of it. I didn't want to see her like that and the thought of it makes me weep. Thank you. Now I'm able to keep the last good memories I have of her.........
