I Miss Someone Who Died

My dad's (who raised me as single parent) mother always felt like my mother. My birth mother was in my life on rides to and from school, on holidays, and days her numerous jobs didn't call her in. But my dad's mom and I were together much more (my mom works multiple jobs) My grandma would watch me while my dad was at his state job and I wasn't in an after school program. She'd had 8 children, 6 grandchildren, including me, and I'm not sure how many great grandchildren. She taught me about everything from religion, to menstrual cycles, to cooking, handling my own finances to love life and fashion, can't forget that. She was diagnosed with lung cancer when I was 17 and passed when I was 18. I saw her go through things I could not stand. To this day, at 24, I do not understand why it had to be her and not me. She did not deserve it

I also was raised by my grandmother due to my parents being addicts. I know how the loss of them hurts. I have to say tho that despite everything being so hard and the difficulties endured, there is no way that they would have wanted it to be any other way. Your grandmother had her life and lived it well....please don't live thinking that you should have been the one who passed on. I'm certain your grandmother wouldn't want you feeling that way. I'm sure that she would be wanting you to be happy and not living with those thoughts. Best wishes to you hon.
