My hiraeth is about the first time I visit my granny rose after two and the half years at Trenton New Jersey. It was a hot summer afternoon, I think I was about six or seven years old when I found out I was going to see Nana rose. My Nana rose is not the average grandmother because she will curse at you and beat your behind if she has to. Meanwhile the car ride to Nana house was long and boring because we have to hear uncle Ben tell his boring stories. A few hours later we pull up to this big beautiful white house, with garden of roses everywhere and we notice the drive way was packed with cars of our family members. As soon as uncle Ben parked the car I ran up to the porch to ring the door bell and jumping up and down with excitement. Within a few minutes, I see a head pop up at the window of the front door and I could hear her unlocking the doorknobs and deadbolt. When the open I look up it was aunt Jennifer standing there, my face look so disappointed that Nana was not the one that open the door. · me: where is grandma · aunt jen: do you know how to say hi · me: I don’t like you · Aunt Jen: Mimi you better get your daughter · My Mom: now Aria greet your aunty · Me: hi aunt jen now can you please excuse me, I must go find my grandma As I walk inside of the house I was amazed how beautiful and different grandma house looked. The walls were painted in lavender and white, the window curtains were lavender and white with a big flower on top of the table. I was so mesmerizing by how beautiful and simple the house looked that I did not notice my grandma in the corner staring at me. · Grandma: is that my beautiful grandbaby · Me: Nanaaaa I missed you so much · Grandma: me too baby girl & I can’t believe it has been two and half years · Me: it’s mommy fault Nana · Grandma: Mimi bring your ass in here now · My mom: yes mom · Grandma : don’t mom me and the next time you keep my grandbaby away from me it going to be a problem · My mom: yes ma’am As my mother was walking to the kitchen she looks at me and rolled her eyes I did not pay much attention because I was too busy looking at my beautiful grandmother. Nana rose came and hug me, she smells like lavender with a hint of coconuts. As we walk to the kitchen I see it was painted peach and then I notice this big glass table with pictures inside of it but when I walk towards the table, the pictures where my baby pictures. At that moment is when I realized I am finally home because grandma house was like my second home. The kitchen was filled with smells of food but the one smell that got my attention was my grandmother famous strawberry short cake and it took me by surprise because she only makes it when she must tell a bad news. I turn around to look for my grandmother to ask her why she bake the cake for but she was nowhere to be found so I walked up the stairs to see if she was in her room. As I was walking I hear noise coming from my grandmother room so I started to speed up but I got closer I hear my aunt jen and mom voice telling my grandmother she cannot sell the house. So, I push the door open then my aunt came to push me out but my mom blocked her. · My Aunt jen: Mimi you need to control this child · My Mom: leave her alone and you see why she don’t like you · Me: mommy is granny selling the house · My mom: yes, baby she is · Me: noooo she can’t sell the house · My mom: why not baby I looked at my grandma with so much tears in my eyes so she walked near me but I push her hands away and ran down the stairs to the backyard. When I went to the backyard I saw the tree house my late grandfather and grandmother help build. I climb up the tree and I notice nothing as change in my tree house. I thought to myself that I had so much memories in this house like why would grandma want to sell it.
