Grandmas should be treated like queens, man. My grandma is a queen and there is no denying that. When my mom was 7 years old, my grandpa passed away (to this day they've never told me how) and my grandma handled it like a true champion. She put 3 kids through college and put her money in investments. Now she has some land in India that she's making bank off of STILL and can't nobody bring her down. Even at this age, she's hustlin, she's travelling, and she's taking time to take care of all her grand kids. I love this lady so much. There might be a language barrier because I don't speak the best Punjabi, but she still listens to me and answers as if I'm speaking it fluently. She asks me how my day is and wants to interact with me. When she wants to, she'll randomly just give me money. She always makes sure there's food for me to eat. This lady is a true queen and she has endured so much in her lifetime. I look at her and this overwhelming feeling of appreciation flows through me. I love her so much.
Shouts out to my other grandma (my dad's mom). She passed away almost two months ago. It was the most difficult day of my life. She died of leukemia (not sure though cuz they never tell me anything). I loved her so much too. She was a queen, always tryna take care of me. Her and my grandpa gave all 5 of their grand kids shares of Charles Shwab and Intel. That money helped me get through my first year of college and will continue to help me. She provided so many laughs and memories. Me trying to teach her some real slang and her actually saying it back! Shouts out to Ariel for consoling me during that difficult time too. If I ever go back to England, I'm gonna go back to the factory my grandma worked at and set it on fire. That's how she contracted leukemia. I'm gonna burn the whole place down. They took my grandma away. A grandma who was still fully capable of living, but they had to infect her with carcinogens. It still gets to me that she died, sometimes I wanna cry for her to come back. Sometimes I offer to give everything up for her to come back, but that's foolish and silly of me. She's not coming back ever. Here it comes, that lump in my throat right before I'm about to get emotional. I loved her so much and I still do. Yeah leukemia got her one day, but I got those memories of us straight chillin forever.
