When I was 14 my mother died. She left me with my 4 year old sister. Now I'm 16 and am still struggling to pay the bills. I feel hopeless. People used to ask me "how are you feeling" "what are you feeling," I had no answers. Honestly, what can you say about your mother who died? Everyone wanted to talk about how she died too. But who cares? One moment in her whole life. I care more about how she lived. And anyone who has a problem with that should remember that she was my mother.

I look at the picture frame on my beside table. It's a picture of me, my mother, and Leah. We all look so happy,so unafraid of what's going to happen next. We look the opposite of what we look like now. I only keep the picture out when I know Leah won't come in. She's already suffered enough, I don't need to remind her of what she's lost. The instant my mother died I knew I would spend my whole life getting over it. I was right.
