One of the most important events in my life is my grandmother's funeral. It was the first time I experienced the death of a relative. I wasn't sad or depressed at first because my grandma had been ill for a long period of time, so it was an event I had expected. However, when I saw her body at the funeral, I burst into tears because it was so overwhelming. It was my first time to see someone deceased right in front of me. A lot of memories ran through my mind. I still remember how she treated me very well when I was a child, taking me to supermarkets or traditional markets to buy food or snacks. I felt sorry and grateful because, during her last few years, I didn't visit her very often. I was busy with school and work, and I really regret not having the chance to see her again.
