One Day I'll Always Remember.

My grandpa passed away almost five years ago, and I will always remember the last day I got to see him. I was going to my doctors appointment to check up on my soccer injury and my dad was about to take me back to school, but he said he was going to see my grandpa. We all knew that my grandpa was very sick and that he didn't have much more time left. I begged my dad to go with him instead of going back to school. Looking back today I'm so glad I did. When I got to My grandpas house the hospice nurse was taking care of him, but he was sleeping and he almost looked dead right there. I remembering holding his and giving him one last kiss before I left. That night I had a soccer game, and right before the game, my dad called me and told me that my grandpa had passed away. When I heard it, I wasn't completely shocked, but I was so happy that I got to see him one last time before he left us. It made me realize that life was too short and you can't take anything for granted. You never know when someone special is going to leave you and you have to make every day count. You don't know when your time will end, or someone else's. The game I played that night was for my grandpa and I will always remember that day and look back at it. It will remind me that life is unpredictable and you have to live it the best way you can.
