Simple Phone Call

I received a call I dreaded since last semester. My grandmother was diganosed with ovarian cancer last spring but she was having surgery to remove it. The doctor said there is a slit chance of it spreading during the surgery but i didnt think it would if the doctor knew what he was doing. A few months after, my grandmother told me there was still cancer in her system. But she said she was fine so i didn't stress it. i would call her every once in a while and ask how she's feeling. My father called me today and said the doctor told him my grandmother has 2-3 months left. i started to cry on the phone and couldn't respond to my dad anymore so i hung up. It's hitting me hard because i barely see my grandmother. She moved to North Carolina when i was in elementary school. We visited her once in 2005. Then saw her again in 2009 when my aunt from NC passed away. I feel horrible because i didn't see her as often as a granddaughter should see her grandmother. I wish i could have made more time for her. I'm going to see her very very soon.
