My Life.. The Early Years..
Chapter 1:
I walked into the country style home. By the look of the mess in the kitchen, you can tell a sponge had not touched anything in over 2 weeks. My Mom follows behinds us, our suitcases in hand. I stand awkwardly in the middle of the kitchen, not knowing what to do with myself. I have only ever been to this house twice, but i knew this was one of the last times. My Mom led us into the living room, where my Uncle, Cousins, and half unconsious Aunt were. My aunt was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, Stage 4. She wasn't able to do anything, not even move. She was so weak. I never understood why her hair started to fade, and why the fat seemed to fall off her body. But, after seeing her then, I never got that picture out of my mind. I still have those thoughts in the back of my mind. We celebrate her birthday, even though it's been nearly 7 years. The pain never goes away. She lay on the couch, barely able to open her eyes. I hear a slight whisper, coming from somewhere, and I notice it's her, she's talking to me. "You girls are beautiful." she whispered, with a slight grin, that was full of pain. To this day, I remember that. Those words being spoken to me. Aunt Jamie, if you are watching me write this, YOUR BEAUTIFUL. Your the most beautiful person i have ever met, inside and out.
