I graduated a year early at 16, so I planned to stay with my grandpa for my gap year while I saved for college. My mom works for a private university, so she was able to get me a free semester of college there. I ended up not spending the time with my grandpa. That January, he didn’t go to the hospital for a leg problem, which led to him being paralyzed and eventually killed. I just. I feel like if i was there, I could have maybe convinced him to go to the hospital. I could have saved him. I chose some dumb school over the only man whos ever truly cared about me. i feel like my actions killed him, and I know i’m only 18, but i feel like I’ll never stop regretting it. I’m so sorry grandpa. I miss you every day.
