&&what's the worst thing you've been through?
*On November 3rd, 2011 I went to school, as usual. I was a happy-go-lucky girl who could not have asked for a more perfect life. That day, at lunch, I got called out. My dad was there to pick me up. He looked upset; I've never seen him that upset. We picked up my little brother at his school too and I saw my old principal; he described me as looking like the happiest girl in the world.
*When we got home, my mom was drenched in tears; her face was puffy and red; she had been crying. A lot. She sat my brother and me down and I'll never forget what she told me,
"There was an accident. Someone broke in, and killed Mommom and Uncle Ryan."
My childhood e.n.d.e.d. that day. I instantly had to grow up and mature. I went to their viewing and their funeral. They were the worst days of my life, aside from the day they died. My Mommom looked so scared and angry. And Ryan; he looked at peace. I have to deal with the pain from their loss. I have to deal with this on-going court trial and trying to get this evil man put away in prison for the rest of his life. I have to deal with my other Uncle, Ryan's brother and my Mommom's son, not talking to us and my Poppop. I have to watch my Uncle hurt my Poppop in the same way he hurt my Mommom. I have to deal with people pretending to be the most important people in their lives when they were living; even though I know, myself and my family were the only ones there for them.
*So next time you get all upset cause you didn't get what you wanted or your parents don't tend to your every need, just remember:
My mom doesn't have her mom anymore.
My mom doesn't have her brother anymore.
We are indirect victims of murder.
I don't want much.
Just them to be alive.
