Something Special To Me

It was a nice summer day in 2005. The sky was clear and the birds were out flying in the light blue sky. Children were playing as cars of every color and shape were driving by. As usual, my great gandmother and I were sitting on the front porch and talking about her life as a child and how she wanted my life to be. As the sun was beaming on my face my great grandmother handed me a box with silver lining. Inside the box was a pair of earrings and a bracelet.

The bracelet was gold and had little red hat charms hanging around it. The earrings were gold with red trim around them. I love the gift that my great grandmother gave me.

On January 19, 2006 my great grandmother passed away. I could remember her smile on the day that she gave me my precious gift. Oh yes there were some things that we couldn’t agree on, but at the same time I loved her and the ways that she talked to me when I would do wrong things. But I could at least remember all the times that we shared a happy and pleasant conversation.
