As the weekend passed it was soon time to say good bye. I told my aunt, uncle, cousin and Grandmother bye and that we would see them soon. Next, it was time to say goodbye to my Grandfather, the last time I ever would. He was peacefully sleeping in the hospital bed, my Mom had hung around to check on me. I didn 't want to say goodbye.

because I couldn’t stay the night till he got better. It didn 't seem that he was getting better soon. Every Night I prayed for him, hoping that God would heal him.

Everything I owned fit into boxes. As I kissed the Rocky Mountains goodbye, leaving the great state of Colorado, I was excited more than excited I was eager.
