Dear Diary

Dear diary, I’m Gracelynn! My Nana’s cottage has always been a hideaway for me, a safe place. It could be the ivory colored, plush carpet and floral wallpapered walls that made it so homey. Well…. personally, I think it’s the people who live in the house that make it so special. If you were to ask me who my favorite person is, I would have to say Nana! The special bond we share allowed me to talk to her about anything! It’s something that I will always cherish. Although, I wish I would have known my Papa, or at least heard stories about him. I find it odd that every time I ask Nana about him she dodges the question, but I have never given it much thought. The reason why I bring all this up is because my Nana passed away yesterday; Two days before my Fourteenth Birthday. When I heard the news I instantly felt broken inside like the world had just lost someone that was not meant to go yet. I could feel the hot tears viciously streaming down my long, sleek face. I decided it would be a good idea to start a diary to comfort me and help me to later remember this unfortunate experience. Well, I have to go—my Mom, Lindsay, just knocked on my door and said “I know this is going to be hard for you but… tomorrow we have to go to Nana’s house and go through her belongings.” I knew it was coming but I did not want to accept it. I will update you tomorrow.
