Grandma, you mean the world to me and it's sad that you have to leave this world in pain. I feel better now that you're not suffering because I was too. The past four years of my life have been rough with you suffering in it. I am just glad you're no longer stuck on a loading screen anymore. Every night I would think about you, wondering if life would ever be the same, wondering what would happen if you never ended up like this, wondering if I would be the same person. Although you're gone it doesn't mean I'm going to spend the rest of my life with grief. I am going to move on and continue to protect the memories I have with you. I have moved on from the pain and sorrow and I'm going to think happy thoughts even though I'm not optimistic sometimes. To anyone who is reading this just know that it's okay to be sad but just know that Jane Jonczak will always be with you. As of this I'm going to share a story of mine.
There is a wall of fog; we step into it not knowing what tomorrow holds. We reach out in the fog for a hand to hold a light switch to turn on. But the only way to know what is through the fog. Is to step.
