Personal Narrative

           Have you ever loved someone so much, but you did not realize how much you did until they were out of your life. When I was a kid everyone in my family lived in the U.S. In 2002 my grandma and grampa decided to move back to Jordan to live a more stable life. When they moved back I didn't realize how much I would missed them and how much they were apart of my life. My grandma was a like a second mom to me, as I was growing she was the one who took care of me and fed me each day. My Parents had work everyday so it made it hard for my brother, my sister and I to be able to spend time with them as much as we would have liked too. So we would spend most of our days with our grandparents. It devastated me  when they decided to leave the U.S.

            My gramparents had always been in my life and seeing them leave had changed me. I had changed because it had never crossed my mind that they would ever decide to leave. I feel that I have never gotten as close to someone as I did my gramparents. After they had left I cried for many days because I knew that wouldn't be able to see them for a long period of time. I believe that this made me who I am today in away, I try not to get my hopes up as much because there's always that feeling that someone will leave me or will turn their back on me. After four years of not being able to see them my family decide on going down to Jordan to go visit them. When we arrived it was like they had never left. I feel that seeing my gramparent and talking to them about why they had left had helped me cope with the situation of them leaving.

         I woukld like to say that my life had changed since my experience with my gramparents. I have become a better person and had decide to trust in people more instead of not letting them in my life. After we say my gramparents that year, a year later my grampa died and even though i was devastated I still remmeber what he taught me about being a strong person and never letting people put me down.
