It se emed like a typical November day, a month after my grandmother had passed away. I was frustrated by everything that was going on around me.
I was mad and confused about everyone especially when I saw a young girl walking through the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to when I was young. I was jealous of the little girl, because she had something I didn’t have anymore — a grandmother by her side.
