HolySandra chapter eight
I don't know what was happening but I woke up to find out my grandmother was dead.

I saw my grandfather in the hospital weeping terribly and I understood. He was going to miss grandma. She was the sweetest woman with a good heart. Now she was gone. She wanted to tell me something but she couldn't. She suffered an heart attack.

We were preparing to leave the hospital. I hugged Ryan thanking him for everything he had done for me and my family.

"You can come see me at my office anytime okay?" I nodded.

"Ryan, thank you again." He bent down to kiss my cheeks before hugging me one last time.

"You don't need to thank me. Remember, I will always be here for you." To which I nodded knowing that he has always been there for me.

"My dear Ryan. Thank you for saving my granddaughter. God bless you. Goodbye son." My grandpa thanked Ryan. Everyone at the hospital wished me good health. I thanked everyone before leaving.

I was greeted by the fresh air and kissed by the beautiful sun.



My grandma and my Dad would be buried today.

My granddad and I prepared for the burial ceremony immediately.

I couldn't stop crying. Grandma was gone. She left me all alone. My mother, my father and now my grandma. I wonder who will be next.

God what is happening? Why is this even happening? Why was everyone around me dying? That was the question I had no answers to.

I just kept weeping in pain and agony wishing someone could answer me but no one could.

Due to the heavy tears, I got tired and slept off.

"My granddaughter. I know you feel God has abandoned you but he hasn't. Do you remember his word that says. 'They that wait upon the Lord, he shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.' My dear, whatever you go through now has a reason. A big reason. Don't ever blame God." My grandmother advised She came to me and wipe my tears

She looked younger and more beautiful. Talking to me slowly and patiently. I was so happy to see her.

"Grandma, come back to me please. I need you grandma. Please don't leave me. I don't have any mother figure. If you leave me now grandma, who will take care of me? Who will make me laugh when I'm really sad? Grandma please, come back with me. Please.." I said hugging her not letting her go.

"The Lord be with you, my dear." She was about to leave but what I said stopped her.

"Grandma, you owe me. You forgot to tell me the meaning of that verse in the scripture at the hospital."

"The scripture was talking about Ryan. You love that man. You have to be careful. You are at the early stage of your Christian faith. The devil will bring devices but hold fast what you have that no man take thy crown." I nodded in understanding.

"But promise me grandma, you will always be by my side." But she was not able to because a voice called me back which woke me up only to realise that it was my grandpa.

"Its time, my dear. Let's go." I nodded and stood up immediately. It was time for me to bury my two loved ones. I just wished I could just die. I don't know why I should go through this. May be I have offended someone but I remembered to thank the Lord.

Thank you Lord for everything. I'm happy that they are in heaven. That is my biggest joy and I know that I will see them soon. I stopped crying and put on my best smile.



I walked in with my grandpa.

They sang 'To God be the glory.' hymn. After which the pastor prayed and acknowledged everyone through the word of God. It was time for the loved once to speak. My grandpa first spoke.

"I'm not happy that they left me and my granddaughter alone to face this cruel word. They taught me life in a different way especially my wife. She was really my bone of my bones. She knew when to set me straight. She loved me in a specific way. Now she was gone and my son was just the stubborn young version of me. Our bond was envied by most people in my home town. He was my true son. Rest in peace, my wife. Rest in peace, my son." With that, he used his hands to wipe the single tear that dropped from his eye.

Now it was my turn. I stood up with a big smile on my face and that caused division among the guest.

"I know some of you are wondering why I'm not sad. How can I be when my parent and grandma are in a better place. A place where everyone have dreamt to be in. A land with precious stones where angels sing hallelujah to the King of kings and Lord of lords. I was crying but when I saw my grandma wearing her beautiful garment as she match majestically to heaven. I knew there was no need to cry. They are all there waiting for me to meet them soon. Therefore, why should I cry? Instead of crying, I should be preparing because I will see them soon. Very soon." A round of applause was heard. As people stood up to chant 'see you soon.'

My grandpa hugged me tightly. I was really happy to see the joy of our guest.

Ryan stood at the corner smiling wondering what a girl she was. He slipped out without anyone noticing. Hoping that one day, he will see that old woman soon.

Meanwhile, in the Most High's kingdom, God couldn't stop smiling. He was really happy to see his daughter trample Satan's face with her words. He sent more angels to be with her because he knew the 'cunny one' will not stop at his plan but he also knew that his daughter will overcome.



While in devil's kingdom, Satan was mad. Really mad.





Only God know what he is planning.
