Things I Didn't Know Then
I didn't know that life was more difficult than just trying to be the first one to finish my multiplication tables.
Or that being a friend was more than just sharing a box of colorful Crayola's.
I didn't know that high school would change some of my closest friends; would change me.
But I knew that I was headed in the right direction--the place that I was supposed to be.
I didn't know that grandma would teach me a love for the piano,
or that the moments shared with my grandpa were limited, but I'm glad I enjoyed them while I had did.
I didn't know that grandpa would become ill and leave me.
But I knew that he was going home.
I didn't know that he would break my heart and I didn't know that it wasn't the end of the world.
But I did know that high school was going too fast and I needed to slow down and enjoy it.
I didn't know any of these things would happen just like I don't know what will happen when I'm all grown...
Well of course I finished my list first and then I tried to keep each paragraph unique and its own. I also wanted them to be in order with my life. I wanted good description.
