Suffocated

The surprise of a lifetime

There once was a family of four who lived in a lil old country town in the middle of no where. Who were always happy and never had a worry in the world. There was a mother a father and two daughters living in this household. They lived in this house for 10-12 years until it all flipped upside down. One day the two daughters went away to the grandparents house of their mother. To have a lil holiday and spend time with them. Until they were 3 days into their holiday with their grandparents. And it was about 12am in the morning and their mother and grandpa could be heard talking and crying from the lounge room. When the daughters heard this they slowly crept up the hallway towards the lounge room where the talking and crying was coming from. When they reached the lounge room their mother with tears pouring down her face called them both over and told them that she had something important to tell them both. They both Sat on the floor waiting to hear the news. It felt like hours of silence. But in reality it was only minutes, then suddenly their mother starts balling again and stutters the words "daddy..... has died". My sister ultimately broke down and for me it took me years to truly understand what had truly happened. I just went back to bed and acted like it was a normal day while everyone else was always crying and being depressed.
