Even if I did not win at Sharkbytes’ contest, I’ll be glad to share my edited entry. To be honest, I prefer this kind of contest because it’s really challenging! It’s like an exciting mind game.

Remembering my grandmother’s death makes me lonely. Such a lamenting flashback.

I can still feel their presence...

Even if it was already dark and the shady trees were covering my frail figure, the world knew that I was there… Busy scribbling unrecognizable marks in the moist ground while sniffing occasionally. It was so me. A big cry-baby. Her favorite grandchild.

The thought of writing about these jumbled words send me the chills. I could highlight the word grandmother and everything will revolve around it. This is just one of my nostalgic posts. A quick look back in the past reminds me of my grandparents. The best among the best. My grandma is one of the best among my three moms. Yes, I was born to three mothers – my biological mom, my aunt and my grandma. I have to say that grandma is the most lenient and most affectionate. My granddad was a farmer and my father inherents that precious job from him. Living in a farm is very rewarding not to mention that my grandma nurtured everything that was within her reach. The mango and jackfruit trees, the medicinal plants, the rootcrops, the poultry animals, and her grandchildren.

I miss my grandparents so much. You can’t imagine the amount of tears I’ve shed when they passed away. My grandfather was killed. That was the worst night of my childhood. While my grandpa suffered a painful death, my grandma had a peaceful one. She died with her grandchildren around her, and I was holding her hands up to her last breath. It’s been a year…
