We all knew that this day was coming

But not when it was going to come 

I got the call from my mom 

I needed to get to my aunts

Grandma isn’t going to make it 

I was going 90

I was scared

I had goosebumps 

I didn’t know what I was walking into

I  was scared that by the time I got there 

She would be gone

She held on for as long as she could 

I sat in her room 

Held her hand 

Told her it was okay if God took her

We had gospel music playing 

That was her favorite music 

Time went on that night 

She held on

She wouldn’t let go 

She was rebellious 

She was a fighter 

She was my grandma

I kept telling her it was okay 

She could go when God wanted her 

It eventually got late 

I had to go

I didn’t want to 

I was scared

I made it home 

I got the call from my mom

I could tell in her voice that she passed

My step-dad got on the phone 

She’s gone 

It was silent 

I hung up 

She waited for me to make it home safe

She finally went to the gates 

She met God
