Stories \ Grandfather Died
Miguel always had a special relationship with his grandfather. Whenever he
visited, his grandfather took the time to ask Miguel how his school work
was going. He often had good advice for Miguel and told him stories about
his own boyhood. Sometimes they went to a ball game together. One day Miguel
came home from school to find his mother upset. His grandfather had become
ill. A few days later, Miguel's grandfather died.
At first, Miguel could not believe his grandfather was gone. Then he felt
terrible pain during the first weeks after his loss. He cried often and could
not sleep. He also began to feel angry at the world in general. He was especially
angry with his grandfather for leaving him. At first he found it hard to
do his school work or see his friends. But then he began to talk with his
friends about the hurt he felt. He also expressed it to a teacher he especially
liked. He did not feel like going out much, but he began to make himself
do it. After a while, he grieved less. He still missed his grandfather, but
he began to enjoy his memories of the good times they shared.
