Superior Position

 Life is built through secrets. We may believe something, but another person may know the actual truth. For instance, last year, my grandmother’s doctor phoned my aunt saying that my grandma had breast cancer. My grandma was already going through a tough time because she had lost her eye vision, so instead, we kept it from her. It was really hard because I love my grandma so much, I felt so mean and guilty but this was for the best. It has been weeks without telling her, but we came to a conclusion that we have to tell her because she was already losing her hair. When we were going to tell her, she had told my other aunt, “I hope this isn’t cancerous, I haven’t been feeling very well.” So as hard as it was,  she assumed and we told her. She was strong, but still hurting inside. She inspires me to stay strong no matter what happens. Sometimes it is best to keep something a secret to prevent someone from hurting, but other times things should be said before it is too late.
