Happiness

It's Just How Life Works

Audrey Hayes was a typical high school student who wanted to live her life like everyone else. However, as the expression goes, God has different plans for different individuals. Audrey always received a tragic life when she sought a good one.

Let us begin from the beginning. Audrey Hayes was born on the sixteenth of February, 2006, in Denver. She was most connected to her grandma on her mother's side, and her grandmother meant nearly everything to her. Her grandma had taught her all she needed to know since she was a toddler. She advised Audrey to be a kind lady with a loving heart who exhibits nothing but kindness to others. Audrey heeded her grandmother's advice and evolved into a woman who fulfilled her vows. But her life came tumbling down one day when she learned that her grandma was ill.

Her uncle informed her that her grandma was ill and invited Audrey to visit. She had left everything behind and arrived at the hospital to find everyone distraught. She had no idea what to do or say because she was only ten years old. The elders urged her to go home and that her grandma will be there in no time. But she had a strong feeling that something was really wrong. She overheard family discussing pumping 13 bottles of blood into her grandma.

Then she noticed her mother sobbing uncontrollably. This was enough to crush her, and she felt her grandma died before she could even speak to her, and her heart bled just thinking about it. There were a lot of people around her who attempted to encourage her so she wouldn't think about something bad. But she was resolute, and she knew her grandmother was no longer alive. Nothing could soothe her down now.

Audrey was relieved when her uncle arrived home later that night and informed everyone of how everything was OK and that Audrey's grandma will be home tomorrow. She stopped weeping after hugging her mother and uncle. She eventually took a glass of water and informed everyone the good news after a long time.

Audrey was content in the moment, but she had no clue what the future held for her. Her grandma lost everything, indicating that she was suffering from a loss of memory and was recommended to remain in bed for quite some time. Everything was going swimmingly until it all came tumbling down. Grandma died five days after she returned home. Audrey was heartbroken. She struggled to get herself to accept that her grandma was no longer alive.

Her grandma died in the presence of everyone, and she was unable to intervene .For the following few days, she blamed herself for her grandmother's death, believing that her grandma perished as a result of her singing. Audrey's mother approached her and attempted to calm her down.

"Don't blame yourself, sweetheart," she said. "Your grandma did not die as a result of your actions. You should feel relieved that she died while listening to your music. She would have been extremely happy to hear her granddaughter's singing before she died."

Audrey questioned her mother, "Really?" Her mother agreed with a nod. Even though she was feeling better, she still blamed herself for her grandmother's passing.

Nothing seemed to go as Audrey had hoped after her grandmother's death. It seems that each passing year meant that things were growing worse. Her life was getting increasingly terrible. Then came the epidemic, which rendered her immobile. Because of all the sobbing, she used to feel ill a lot.

She used to put on a pleasant face for others, but only she knew what was going on behind her smile. She knew that if she was pleased for even a minute, she would have to be sad for the rest of the day, so she gradually avoided being joyful.

Eventually, her mom and dad began bickering. Things continued to deteriorate, and Audrey became weaker by the day. As she grew older, she became more aware of what was going on in her household. She discovered that her father was a heavy drinker who frequently drank and returned home, causing his liver to suffer.
