Once upon a time there was this family of four who were really close. Then one day when they were waiting for the mail to come they found out that their eldest son, Cody will be going to Missouri for two years and he could only call two times a year, this was called a mission. His little sister , Brook knew that this day would come and she knew that her days with him are limited and so she spent all the time that she could with him. That went by to fast and before she knew it, they were dropping him off at the MTC and she didn't cry until it was time to say good bye than as she held her brother for the last time she whispered into his ear "Don't go." and started to cry. When they got back int the car all she could think about was those two words that she said to him. All she wanted to do was go back for him and get him back, she just wanted to rush in there and take him back. But she couldn't she had to stay and watch him leave, and he never looked back. The past couple of months their was crying and suffering and yelling. All that she could ever think about was those two words she had said to him. Her parents said that this is were his journey began and mine too, sure it was hard at a lot of times but with the help of a couple of friends and family the time going by so fast. And in a blink she was at the airport waiting for him to get back and when she saw him it seemed as if the world had stopped she ran up to him and gave him a big hug and whispered in his ear, "You came back!" When she looked into his eyes all she saw was love, and she knew that he was home! Sure life may be a ticking clock you might be waiting for the right guy to marry, or waiting to graduate, or. Waiting for your family to be complete again. When you are waiting and you are getting depressed, or hit some bumps in the road, and all you want to do is be alone and curl up into a ball and die. Though it may not feel like it but being with the people you care about helps a lot! Being alone just makes it worse. So while we are all waiting for something we should all be with our friends and family, and not alone.
