Thinking about my grandma. She had a stroke in 2003. We took her to the hospital and the doctor sent her back home without even doing anything. We probably could have sued but I thought that was for her children to do and not for me. Anyway, she's the greatest person I knew and probably the biggest influence when it comes to making me who I am. She practically raised me. She was strong and never complained about anything. Near the end, her mouth was so dry and all she wanted was a sip of soda but we weren't allowed to give her anything. Her speech was incoherent but one thing she said as clear as day as she lay in that hospital bed was, "Timmy, why did this happen to me?"
Everything I do is to live up to the standards you set, Grandma. Hope I make you proud.
