Itumed around and went to look for Grandma. After the mortuary cosmetologist did their job, Grandma looked much younger and more beautiful.
When Grandma and 1 first started living together, she was actually a popular lady in the village-famed for her beauty.
Even though we were poor back then, Grandma always did her best to dress us up and do our hair nicely. Since we were dressed nicely and were polite, people would invite us to their homes or give us something to eat wherever we went. I remembered that Grandma was respected in the village backtben. She was an amazing old lady…
Tears filled my eyes again. I turned away and raised my hand to wipe away my tears.
The mortuary cosmetologist was combing Grandma’s hair I then walked over and touched her hair. “Let me do this. Thank you.”
“Olay,” the mortuary cosmetologist replied and turned to leave.
Only Grandma and I were left in the room. I slowly smoothed her hair and placed it on both sides of her shoulders.
I touched Grandma’s face and said. “I’m sorry, Grandma. I didn’t take good care of you, but I’ll definitely find the person who hurt you.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma.” I continued, my voice unconsciously quivering. I took a few deep breaths and finally smiled I said, “I’ll take good care of myself, so you don’t have to say
Grandma’s funeral was scheduled to be held in two days. I didn’t notify anyone else, so only Lyla, Antoine, and I were at the funeral home. They stayed up with me all might, and the next day, they didn’t feel so good.

When I heard crying outside the room, I felt sorry. Since yesterday, I hadn’t been able to shed a single tear.
I reached out and touched Grandma’s face through the glass of the cothin, “Grandma I’m a bad person for not allowing Jack to return here to see you
