"Count Your Blessings" is a phrase my grandma said often, and before she got sick i never knew what she meant. Being in the hospital with her and my family for days and sometimes months at a time taught me. Things that we often take for granted are what we should be calling blessings. I thank god everyday that i had the time that i did with her, even though i gave up fun things like hanging out with friends and going to the racetrack to watch my cousins race, which are things that i love. I never knew that spending time with her would today mean so much to me. I often hear my friends and classmates talk about a family member or friend or other classmate they don't like and sometimes say hate and i now i sit there and think to myself how lucky they are to have them in their lives no matter how messed up the person is because i lost my grandma in August and i used to think some of the same things as they did but now i just think how lucky i was to have someone like her in my life. I have learned in the past year to love the people in your life because you never know when they might not be their.
