Grandma Bolt

    Grandma Bolt


    Have you ever had to trust in God for anything? Have you ever had to go through a hard time in your life?  Have you ever had a relative or a person you know be diagnosed with cancer? It is really hard to just trust that God will be there and take care of them. Well, my Grandma was told that she had cancer in December.

    This essay is about my Grandma Bolt. I have known my Grandma since I was born. She has always been there for me. When I am sick at school I can always go there, or before a volleyball, basketball or baseball game, and for our concerts she has been there without my grandpa all these years. I wish I could have gotten to know him. My grandma always tells me stories about him and how he died when I was 8 months old. I wish I would have known him.

    She has said so many things that meant a lot to me, so I can’t remember all of them. She has pointed me to God by reading the Bible after every meal and praying before every meal. She has also taught me to trust in God. She has to trust in God when she has cancer, why can’t we trust in God for the smaller things?
    My Grandma was suppose to have knee replacement at the end of December and instead of that she was told she had cancer. She had to go for 2 months getting chemo and radiation. She stayed at Hope Lodge, a place in the cities where you can stay and take a shuttle to the hospital. She has made a difference in my life because she has stayed strong through all the cancer. She actually lost her voice and she couldn’t swallow anything she kept her faith in God, and pushed through the hard times of her life which makes me want to be like her when I get older.

    She has always been there when we need her. She loves it when we grandkids stop by to say “hi!” She loves when we can all come home for Christmas and spend it all together. She likes being a part in our lives and I like her to be there. I like being a part of her life.
    She has also made a difference in my life after staying strong after my grandpa died 14 years ago. She has stayed strong and I want to be like her someday. She is basically a grandma to everybody. Whoever comes to her house she will take care of. She loves all of my friends I bring over. I want to be like her and have friends like her when I get older. She has really good friends too. They have been taking care of her when she had cancer and they love to stay with her. Joyce Slaghter and Doris Ohden love to go play cards with my grandma and my grandma likes when they come. She always gets really happy.
    Well that's all I have to say about my grandma. She is the best Grandma you could ever ask for. I love that she is also this close to us so whenever we need something she is there for us especially in this time she is there for us.
