Living in Calgary

My mother once told me that I was going to live in Calgary with my grandma Dianne, she is very sick, she has cancer.

I was excited at first then I got scared because I didn't want to see my grandma when she was sick and I didn't want to see her die. My grandma has a friend that comes to visit her from Toronto, he comes down every second month to check on her.

Today was my birthday I was turning just 14 years old, today was also the day I was going to move to Calgary. I had everything packed I had almost 25 pictures of me and my family and well a lot of my little sister I was going to miss her like crazy.

I took me a 10 almost 11 hours to drive to Calgary and there were 4 moving vans behind our vehicle that's how much stuff I had. When I got there only 2 or 3 of the vans had items in them. This is because 1 or 2 of the moving vans didn't get closed all the way so most of my stuff fell out. When I got to Calgary grandma Dianne had a whole new wardrobe for me.

There were a lot of people at my grandma's house just to meet me because my grandma told everyone I was famous, everyone wanted to meet me. My grandma did that so I would have friends at my new school.

"Hi grandma how are you feeling right now?" I said.

"I'm doing fine. How are you? Oh, let me show you where your room is. I had workers come and make a little house for you in my back yard. The only thing it doesn't have is a kitchen, but it does have counters and shelves to put your food in. You also have a walk-in closet. it can hold almost 50 overweight men, you will have a lot of room,"!! Grandma Dianne said.

" Thanks grandma I can't wait to see it,"! I said

" I would love to help you put your stuff in your small house but I don't feel good I have to go lay down," she said.

"You always do that as soon as I get here you have to go and lay down I don't know why I ever agreed to come here. I thought we could spend time together, and hang out but I guess not!" I yelled.

After we had the fight I decided I couldn't stay, I didn't even want to look at her.

When I got home I felt really bad. I went back to my grandma's the day after. I took back everything I had said.
