She is the best grandma that anyone could ever have or ever imagine off in their life. Having both my parents work during the day I grew up with my grandmother who nurtured me and made a great impact on my life. I always thought that I had to mom’s. During the day it was Grandma who took care of me and my brother with her down poring love. I remember during my junior school time, after school I used to get off at my grandma’s place from my school van and there she was waiting in front of the gate expecting me. Not only that she had already prepared the best meal you could ever have in your life. But with all the above my Grandma had a hidden agenda in her mind which was “how can I get this kid to start working homework and studies as soon as possible”.

My grandmas was very keen on education, she always wanted us to study hard and do the best. During exam times she used to do everything in her power to get a peaceful surrounding at her place for us to enjoy studying. One funny story was that one time my aunt visited us during an exam time and as usual I happened to be at my grandmothers place studying for one of my exams. My grandmother knew that if my aunt (my grand mothers youngest daughter) stays longer, I will not study enough for the exam. We all know that my grandma cooks delicious food specially when my aunt comes for a visit. But on that she was taking a step back on the cooking idea and was trying to tell her daughter to leave simply because it was going to rain and she thought my aunt should go home before the rain. This shows how seriously she thought about our education.

There are many memories like this, and every single time I remind them, my tears fallout because today I got to know that she passed away by saying good by to all of us. I still remember month ago when I spoke to her over the phone, she was so excited to see me in December. But I was not lucky enough see her for the last time in my life. Grandma I love you so much and I am going to miss you so much and I wish in my next life you will be my grandma again and wait for until i get off from my school bus. Grandma may you attain Nibbana.
