I got woken up this morning at around 5:45am, It was my dad. I didn't want to answer it. I knew something was wrong. My dad is not awake at this time, EVER. So with total disregard to what i am feeling, i answer the phone. He tells me "i'm sorry Michelle, there has been an accident." I immediately expect something happened to my grandmother, Noni. She is 80 years old. I started screaming "Oh my god, oh my god, What ? What happened?" He says the unthinkable,"it's carol. I'm so sorry to tell you this but, she just passed away..."
All i could do was scream, out of control screams, john immediately woke up and all i could do was hold on to his tee-shirt pulling at it and screaming, i couldn't sit straight, i could imagine what i had just heard, i dropped my phone on the bed and could hear my dad yelling my name, i could not function. All i could do was scream. Carol? she can not be, how, why, what are you talking about, No she is not gone, she can't be. Your wrong. there is no way. I literally crawled out of bed as i could feel the vomit coming up. I crawled to the bathroom opened the toilet seat and let loose. John picked up my phone and spoke with my father. Then he came into the bathroom with me. He asked a question that i will never forget "i'm so sorry michelle, Noni huh?" The tears came rushing. "No carol." He was just as shocked as i was.
Carol was not sick, she did not have cancer, she was fine. We are taking her to the Red Sox game on monday for her birthday. She said she hasn't been to a game in years. I couldn't wait to take her. I can't believe this is happening. Why is my world falling apart..........
