"I can't wait to see mother goose" says my brother. "oh well you better behave
yourself!" My mum laughs (phone rings) "hello?" I hear muffled voices as my mum talks she always replies yes and then as the call ends my mums face turns grey. She just smiles and so u think nothing of it. later that day as i go to bed I heard her and my dad talk I can't make out what it is she and he is saying but all I hear In the end is crying so I cry. its Christmas holidays and at that time I was 10 with not a care in the world then on the 23rd of December my life changes my mum my wonderful mum is told there is something in her blood something not right and I me Bella Campbell has to make so many sacrifices that not even my closes friends could understand.
It's now the day I have been longing for and that is Christmas!! "What are u going to wear?" I ask my mum she then turns round and in her hands is a beautiful black sparkly dress. I look at her and see her eyes light up as though she knows I love it.
It's now time for our family to come round for Christ mad dinner I was so excited to go back to normal for a day first comes my dads side of the family then my mums we sit and have a laugh then eat dinner the whole entire time I have to watch my mum cry and then I just stop go up stairs and cry myself i come down after a while and find my mum and grab talking to my cousins in New Zealand. my mum as usual is crying and my gran almost at braking point I then hear my dad say " do u want me to tell them?" I see my mum now in full on showers of tears and my gran saying " I've already told them" repeatedly so much for a merry Christmas huh .
