What Is the Story?

In September of the year before last, I lived through one of the saddest moments of my life because my maternal grandmother passed away. She was a very important person to me, almost like a second mother, because we were very close.

I remember that they gave me the news while I was at school. At that moment I felt very bad and I could not hold back my tears. After that, I stopped going to classes for approximately one week because we did not feel like doing anything. I was very sad.

When I finally decided to return to school, I did it without much motivation. However, when I arrived, I got a big surprise: my friends welcomed me with a lot of joy, they even brought me some gifts to cheer me up and gave me their condolences. That gesture made me feel supported and very loved during a very difficult moment.
