If She Was Still Here...

     

     If I could change one thing that happened in my past, it would be curing my grandmother. In 2009, she passed away from brain cancer. Curing my grandmother would mean the world to me because ever since July 25, 2009 I have never been truly happy and confident. I regret not telling her I loved her even though I was not in the right mind set. She had always been there to make me smile, and remind me how beautiful I was when I thought differently.She was always there when I needed her, and we had amazing times together. My memories would not be all I have if she was cured but I would be able to make new memories with her. Changing this one aspect of my life would not only effect me but everyone who knew her. I would not have lost my best friend, nor would my mom have lost her mother. My grandmother would have meet my mom's husband and family. My siblings would not have lost another grandmother and my other relatives would not have lost a loved one.  Everyone would be happy right now. No one would mourn her lost nor visit her grave because she would be with us. She would shine her bright smile and make us all have a good time. We would all be able to add to our memories. If only she was still here...

Mother

Mother,
You are the reason 
I am like no other.
You had me in the hot season,
Of summer

Mother, 
You are everything to me 
I would not wish for another,
You are the one and only 
Mother for me.

Most people do not have you 
Therefore I am grateful.
It does not matter what we go through
As long as I still have you. 

You are always there
To give advice,
And tell me what to do 
Therefore I want to say 
Thank you!

Thank you 
For always being there
To help me through tough times 
I would not have made it 
Without you,
So again I say 
Thank you!

Dolphin :)

     One interesting thing that happened this summer was when my aunt made a fool of herself at the pool. Since it was a hot summer day, she, my little cousin and I decided to rent a hotel room to go swimming. When we got there, we changed into out swim suits before we went to the pool. Because my aunt and I could not swim, we decided to play "Marco Polo".  Ten minutes later we got bored, and my little cousin challenged her to do the dolphin. He was going to show her how to do it, until she told him to move and let her work her "magic" . While she was doing the dolphin, a boy was walking to the pool. The boy saw her and we all started laughing. When she came from under the water, we were still laughing, but this time at her shocked expression of seeing the boy in the pool.

India Zh'ane

India Zh'ane 
Who is she?
A girl with a smiley day
And loves a shopping spree
No...

India 
Who is she?
Her name is from Sanskrit,
Meaning a body of water.
No, she is not the country
But she is a daughter.

She is independent,
Confident,
Argumentative,
and loves to smile. 
She is India Zh'ane 
POW! POW! POW!    (Onomatopoeia)

Zh'ane 
Who is she? 
India's middle name
So, that's who she must be.

Zh'ane 
Her name means a gift from God
It is know in Slavic, Hebrew, and English 
Meaning Jane, merciful, and gracious

She was named after 
A 1990's singing duo called Zhané
By her grandmother 

India Zh'ane 
Always hated her middle name
As people would pronounce it 
Zane like Jane 
even though it was 
Zha - NAY

She is magnetic    (Metaphor)
Attracted to peoples problems 
And there to give advice 
She always welcomes 

India Zh'ane is caring,
Generous, 
And friendly
But she knows how to 
prevent things from going too far

She is dramatic 
When she worries 
She is like the Titanic   (Simile)
Sinking slowly 

So, 
India Zh'ane 
Who is she?
She is a girl 
She is me..
