regret

One huge regret I have is getting depressed after my Granny passed away. I was 8 at the time and we got the devastating phone call early Monday morning. I remember it because I didn’t go to school for the rest of the week. But I remember being sad everyday and not knowing why. I didn’t understand why I was so sad until I got older and learned what depression was. Then I realized that I was depressed. I started to gain weight, being silent, being mean. I was a hot mess. But when I turned 11 I realized she was in a better place and that I didn’t need to worry about her. I realized she didn’t have to worry about anything and she didn’t have anymore health issues. I realized that God took her for a reason. And although I miss her very much, I know she’s in a better place.
