The Revisit

Today we all went to my great grandpa's house to celebrate the one year passiong of my great grandma. It's hard to believe its been ayear already, the time just flew by. It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting in a golf cart telling my coach that I wouldn't be at school and inquiring about my elgiblity for my meet the next day. How the sunw as just at the right angle, color, and creeping out behind the clouds and early evening dew steam. I'll never forget bursting into tears as i sat there and told him. And that's the weird part. I barely knew her. Everytime I saw her as a kid she scared me because she smoked, and as a result I had never really had a conversation with her. I didn't know her like the rest of myy family. I felt like the only reason I would go see her was because of that connection-- family. I know I'll get to see her again someday, and I'll get to know her then. I just never understood as a kid what she meant to me, even though she's barely been a figure on my life. I guess they're right, you don't really know what you got till its gone.
