Life Choice: To Tell the Truth?2/10/2018 This blog post is telling how someone has to keep a very sad and dark secret and how others in the world have to keep secrets just like hers. In What you dont know by Lulu Wang, this young girl tells the story about how she had to keep the secret of her grandmothers health. I do not think it was right to deceive their grandmother because she should know that she's dying and she should get the chance to live the rest of her life. They kept the biggest secret of all from her. They gave her a fake medical paper that way she didn't know what her actual prognosis is. The whole family was in on the lie which is not right. lying is lying no matter what. Lulu didn't want to be apart of it but to say goodbye to her grandmother she had to, which is sad. Its hard to lie to someone you love especially if their dying. Its a horrible thing to do, in my opinion. When they decided to use the wedding as a goodbye party its a good idea but its also sad. Apparently in china crying at funerals is a sign of showing respect and by not crying while saying goodbye to your dying grandmother is a hard thing to do inside because you know she's dying and you cant show her the respect she deserves. Also, Lulus dad was very emotional because everyone knows except his mom. I had to make a hard decision not to tell my grandmother the truth also. when i was younger it was always hard to tell someone i love the truth. Especially to my grandmother. She is the most important person in my life. If my family and i got into a fight i would call her if i fought with anyone i would call her and she would always be able to comfort me. I had to tell my grandmother everything was going to be okay for her husband, my pop-pop, even though i knew it was not going to be okay. My pop-pop has had cancer three times. Once in the mouth where they had to cut out a piece of his tongue to use as extra skin for his mouth. A month ago he had lung cancer. He was staying in the hospital and still acted like his own self. he went through weeks of radiation and finally got over it. Recently He was just diagnosed with cancer in the brain. My grandmother has been through a lot with him and i do not know what she would do if he lost his battle some day. My pop-pop is the funniest guy around no matter how he feels he still somehow makes a joke about it. My grandmother does not know how he does it she's stressed and scared and he acts like nothings wrong. I know if something did happen my grandmother would get through it but its the fact that she wants him to be okay and to keep fighting but i do not know much longer he can fight for. My grandmother knows what the outcome with be its just when, but i have to keep telling her these lies about everything will be fine even though i know it wont be.

No that’s not my focus and I could Change it by saying that my grandmother doesn’t know when it will be or if my grandfather will over come it again but I have to keep saying everything will be fine.
