My name is Della Laurencin. I was born in 1987 and now i'm 22 years old. I live on Flatbush, and i'm a loving person if you get to know me. I've lost alot of people in my family that was close to me.
Let's start with my uncle. He was the best uncle someone could ever had, me and my brother use to go to his house everyday to make race to wash the dishes, when we wre done he would pay us and we would make what we want to eat. He always use to give us money to go to Coney Island to spend onthe fun rides. One day his car had a problem so he went under to see what was wrong and a piece of rusty iron went into his arm. My grandmother which is his mother told him to go to the hospital. My uncle was a rastafarian who didn't believe hospitals. One week later he got lock jaw which is deadly which caused his death. I was sad because that was my favorite uncle. It took me awhile to get over his death.
Another person who i lost was my grandmother three months ago. She was my favorite especially because she spoiled me and i was her youngest grand-daughter. She was my father's mother, i couldn't believe she had passed away. It never occurred to me that she would pass so soon, because she lived so long.
Last but not least is my grandfather i lost him almost 3 years ago. He died from diabetes. A week before he did surgery that got me thinking that the doctors had done something wrong. Í'm still trying and deal with his death but it bothers me sometimes. He was the only grandfather i knew because the other one died when my father was 3 years old so i never got the chance to meet him. It hurts me so bad. I never really got the chance to see him and tell him goodbye and how much i love him. There was a time he was sick and i sent him a get well soon card at the hospital and he always talked about me. Everytime someone called he would ask for me.
I feel bad but not to bad because i guess God was readyf or them, so i'm taking it one day at a time.I wish they were still here with me. Life really sucks without them in my life but i will see them someday where ever the at n that better place.

i liked what she had to say it just needs some structure
Della,
I think that the level of detail you used to describe why your uncle was special to you was excellent. I can really understand why he was the best uncle to you. I'd love to see you use more detail in describing how your grandmother spoiled you and why your grandfather was special to you. The tidbit about how your uncle would pay for your rides at Coney Island was so telling- I understood why as a young child your uncle would hold a special place in your heart. I look forward to hearing more about your relationships with your grandmother and grandfather!
