So a few months back I made a journey to what is now one of my favorite places on earth, Arizona. This is for a number of reasons, it's a beautiful exotic place, most of my family I had never met up until this past year lives there, and it was my grandmother's favorite place on earth. My grandmother was like my mom, she was an absolutely beautiful individual, a roll model, a friend, a confidant, and the person who thought me to always have hope, and never give up. She always wanted to take me to Arizona when I was growing up. I would hear stories about how beautiful it was, how she wanted to take me mountain climbing with my uncle, and how my family out there always wanted to meet me. She would show me pictures, and bring back suvinears every time she would go. Sadly I was never able to go with her. Around 14 my grandmother got into a car crash that changed her forever. She fortunately survived the crash, but we all noticed something different about her after that day. We believe she may have suffered a stroke, now my grandmother was a humble individual when it came to others but to herself she was strong and independent. Always doing for others but expecting nothing in return. We think she may have had the chest pains and that may have been the cause for the accident, and that she didn't want to scare us. For whatever reason about a year later she started showing signs of dementia. It was a crushing blow as it began to alter the personality of my grandmother. Slowly but surely over the next 5 years we watched her fade away. This was a crushing blow to my whole family, the active, independent woman we knew began to slowly turn into something I never thought I would have to face. A mortal woman. though she never forgot who I was, or who my mom was, I watched her forget her son, and much of his side of the family. Though you could see her struggle to hold on to her memories was still there. I never lost the person I loved truly. 3 years ago she passed away, on her death bed I had to admit to her there were many times that I would play sick just to spend the day with her. The following day after I said my last good byes she passed. Her spirit has lived on in me, her adventurous spirit has never died. I walk in the footsteps of my grandmother as best I can to honor her memories every day. So I went to Arizona 3 weeks after destiny came out. I vowed to scatter my grandmother's ashes there, there were so many set backs and it sucked having to wait so long, but I made the journey finally. When I set my feet on Arizona soil I could feel her standing beside me. I met all of my family there, and saw all the beautiful things I could in the time allotted, and was nothing less than awestruck. This was heaven. My whole family out there wanted me to come live there, I had never felt such amazing warmth, I knew now why my grandmother loved it there so much. On the second to last day we made out final journey with my grandmother's ashes. My uncle, his daughter and my mother made our journey up a mountain that sits in what may as well be the middle of Arizona. What a beautiful view it was looking in every direction seeing what looked to be all of Arizona. This was also the last place she stood before she could no longer travel due to her health. This was exactly as I had dreamed it, to spread them to the wind of the place she loved more than anywhere else in the world. I watched as they took to the wind, and we're carried away, and just as I could feel her there with me from the beginning of the trip I felt her there on top of that mountain. My journey had come to a close, and I saw all she had loved, I tuned to my mother, and family, and I was truly surround by everything she had ever held dear. This was one of the most beautiful moments of my life and I won't forget it. Now here is a request I have bungie, and I hope you will be willing to honor this request. To everyone who has ever had anyone that means the world to you please never take them for granted, always make up when a fight happens, even if it means swallowing pride, and giving in if you know your right, just settle the score. You never know what tomorrow will bring, and love can change the face if the battle field in families, I would know as much more has happened since than. Good and bad, family means the world if you can fix it do all you can, and never give up on those you love. Always remember to live on in the shoes of those you've lost, as they would have wanted that. No one wants to see the ones they love living in depression and sorrow over there death. Live on, in them. During this week, which was up to now the best journey of my life, xur was selling knuckle head radar. I wasn't home for this, and it was honestly the only helmet I had ever wanted. I was just hoping you could put it back on the market, I know this seems petty a petty request for the end, but it's the one thing for the hunter that hasn't returned. Please don't read this as me begging for something, and if you do please understand that's not my intention. As I said before never take those you love for granted, and spend what little time you can with those you love. I hope this message will help someone out there. If your struggling with a family member with alzhemirs or dementia I wish you all of the hopes and prayers I can muster. Just stay strong, and never give up on them. There is no turning it back, but caring about them is something no one can ever take from you. Those memories can never die, and even though they may not remember what you did for them, in that moment it means the world to them.
