I woke up from the loud alarm clock from my nightstand and I moaned in annoyance. I hit the darn button and sat up to see that it was only 8:47.
Wait a minute.
"Oh shit! I'm late!" I muttered then hop off of my bed.

My father and grandfather died in a boating accident during a monstrous windstorm when they were returning home from the mainland. A Navy sailor found the remains of the boat and came to inform my mother and I of the tragedy. I was 6 when the accident happened.

To let people know that even in the darkest times in life. We need to let out the sadness and give in to the happiness that will come to us after. Because that is one of the many lessons of life, reminding your darkest memories so that you could build new ones out of joy.

I went downstairs in a run and went to the fridge to get some orange juice. Once I found it, I opened the lid and drank it out of the open.
