My parents and I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina from Olympia, Washington just four years ago. My name is Leigh Anne Chauffeur. I'm twenty six years old and I'm a medical nurse. At this time of year I live in Washington D.C. with my fiance Jacob Watson. Jacob is a famous restaurant owner of Healthy Cooking'. My father Winfred died of lung cancer. My dad was smoking since I was about six years old. Jacob and I met at his restaurant. We have been engaged for two years. I'm going start our story at the time when I was at his restaurant for his thirtieth birthday. " Happy Birthday Jacob!" I said. " Thanks" He said. I gave him his birthday gift inside was a brand new watch. He simply adored the gift and he reached out to give me a kiss. Feeling his lips I closed my eyes and felt nothing. I always felt sparks after kissing him but this time there was nothing. After the party, I went to work at the hospital. Doctor Peterson was calling me to help him with his cancer patient Mrs. Gordan. She is old and fragile at age 83. She was diagnosed with skin cancer at age 34. I remember Mrs. Gordan used to make homemade oatmeal cookies for me. But I also remember her falling into her serious disease as years went by. We were good neighbors. Mrs. Gordan lost her daughter Karen in a car crash about five years ago. Karen always visited her mother at the hospital. Karen's parents have been divorced for 17 years. Karen is 19 years older than me and a defense attorney. Karen has a son Adam and he comes to see Mrs. Gordan often. " Hello Mrs. Gordan" I said. " Leigh Anne I want some water" she said. I rushed to get her some water. " There you go Mrs. Gordan" I said. As she sipped her water slowly. Her grandson Adam came inside and gave a kiss to his grandma. I left them alone for awhile. Adam left her room in time to have a small chat with me. " How long is Grandma going to be in the hospital" He asked. "Well Dr. Peterson said she needs to rest for awhile. Maybe she'll leave in two weeks."I said. " Well after the hospital I'm sending her to a senior home where she will have better care. I need to finish college and I got a job at Jefferson Service as a telephone operator" he said. " I understand what you mean Adam. But I'm sure your grandma wants to be here". He shouted No at me. I immediately went to the bathroom and started to weep. Susan walked in just in time to see. " Oh Leigh Anne are you ok" Susan asked. I nodded my head. I knew that Susan was a big mouth gal that always spread rumors.
