My Second Chance

Meeting

I remember walking out of the cold hospital, into the hot warm air outside. Nothing could feel better than walking out of the place of terrible memories. To me it was like a haunted house or living a horror movie, to where you are the person who can't get away from the bad guy, except that is me and the hospital.

As I walked out of the hospital I got a little unbalanced, by the time we got to the car I felt like I was about to fall down. As I sat down I started to gain my energy back, these days I don't have very much energy. I can't do half of the things I did when I was younger like play basketball, volleyball, softball, and I can't even do dance anymore. I wish that I could still play, everybody was upset when I could not play anymore, they told me I was good. I could not help it but to cry because it was the only thing I knew how to do back then. I ran to the bathroom and sat down and just cried and when people saw me they thought that I was crying about sports, but that was not was not what I was crying about, I was crying because I knew I was going to die, and that's the reason I can't play sports. That was about 5 years ago when I was 10 now I am 15 and I try to fight as much as my heart can.

I looked out of the window as I saw a deer run across the meadow, it was beautiful. I had never seen anything like it, I was so surprised that something could be that wonderful. Finally we pulled into the driveway to our house. I looked at the dark brown porch that connected to the house and opened the door. I knew by the time I made it to the house I would need to sit down but this time I did not I was fine, which was good. I got the wonderful smell of my house as I opened the door. It smelled like cinnamon and apples. I walked in my room and opened my diary to the first page I had ever wrote. It was from 5 years ago when I was first diagnosed with cancer it said

Dear Diary

God I don't get it, why would somebody like you want to bless anybody with cancer especially me, I have not betrayed anybody especially you god. I love life I would never just give up on how far I have made it, I will keep trying no matter what because I know you did not bring me this far to leave me, I know this because I care about you and you care about me.   I just don't understand why you choose people like me for this task. I have tried so hard for you to give me a life to live without regret, I guess in a way you did give me a life to live with no regret. I really hope god that you don't make it hard on me or family. God I trust you Will give me hope and strength through the process.

Casey

      All of a sudden I heard a knock at the front door where my mom rushed to answer it. As my mom opened the door I saw a younger looking woman with green eyes, bright red lipstick on and she had freckles all over her face. Standing next to her was a boy who looked maybe one year older than me. He was super tan, had bright blue eyes with super blonde hair with freckles right underneath his eyes. before my mom could say anything the lady in a really excited tone started to talking, she said
     " hello we are your new neighbors, I am Susan and this is my son CJ. I made you and your family some cupcakes. Then she grabbed the box from her son and handed it to my mom. My mom took the cupcakes and said
    "  Hello my name is Katie and right over there is my daughter Casey and my husband Bob is somewhere around here.
As I went to look start CJ he was already looking at me. As fast as I could I shifted my eyes so he would not think I was looking at him. before I knew it Susan was saying goodbye and telling us how nice it was to meet us. my mom told hergoodbye and she left.
