Hayley's Comet

        I had a little sister named Hayley, she was the most adorable little creature that I've ever met. She always had a smile on her face, she always knew how to make a dark situation into a light one, even when everyone found out she had stage 3 cancer she laughed it off and said she'd live forever like a superhero and started "flying" around the room. This little creature had the world in her palm..she looked death in the eyes and said bring it on. She fought cancer for 5 years, at the time I was only 15 when she..moved on so to say. Even before she died, when everyone gave me some time with her to say my goodbye, she held her small hand to my face and told me everything would be okay. This 10 year old child comforted me as she was dying. It was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen. As she was shutting down for good she looked me straight in the eyes and told me everything happens for a reason, told me not to be afraid for i'll see her again someday..and I held her hand and her breath slowed and her heart rate dropped.


      Now there was a night where a comet, a single comet was gonna fly over the sky. The night the comet was flying overhead, everyone got word of more on the way for an amazing once in a lifetime site, at least how they worded it. The comet was named Hayley's Comet...and for a second I thought my little sister was reaching out to me. As I stepped onto my balcony I got hit with a wave of emotion I couldn't control, I remembered all the memories we had and I got sent back like a car wreck. It brought me back to when my sister and I would lay out on the balcony reaching for stars in hopes to go beyond them, she always said she'd reach out to me if she passed before me, always said she'd find a way to say hello. Turns out she was right, tears running down my face I waved at the rocks in the sky in hopes it was actually her, I felt comfort in that moment..I felt the warmth of something around me. To this day I still think it was her telling me she's not gone, telling me she's still surfing the stars like she's always dreamed of doing.


I love you Hayley...wish you were here..till we meet again someday
