Chapter 1: A Look At The Past

Seven years old. That's how old I Was when I lost not only my mother But, my guardian angel. I remember That day like it was yesterday. The
Look on my father's face when he Broke the news to me was heart-Breaking. The tears streaming Down his face like a waterfall. My mother passed away From Lung Cancer.
March 19th 2003. By far one of the Worst days of my life. My mother Worked as a lawyer for many years. She was finally forced to quit her Job about two months after she Was diagnosed. My father was and
Still is a hard working doctor. Me, Noah, my older brother of only a Year, and Justice, my younger Sister of just two years all took the News very hard at first. I mean we Were all very young at the time. My Mother survived about two years
With Lung Cancer. I was only about Six at the time she was diagnosed, So I didn't really understand what Was happening. My Father was the
One tiring to keep our family
Together. We were all going through A very ruff time in our lives. He took Sometime of work to take care of My mother, while all us kids were
At school. Our family was close to perfect Before my mom became sick. My Parents both loved each other very Much. Everything was perfect We
lived in a rather large Home In Boston. I guess You could consider us "rich." My
Life was everything any young one could ever dream of. We were all Spoiled kids. Our parents took Very good care of us. They loved us With everything they had, and we
Loved them just as much back.
Everything was perfect. That's then When my mother found out the Horrible news.
Soon after my mother's death
My father fell In to depression. He Hired a Nanny named Grace, who Soon became like a second mother To us kids and still is today. She cared for us like we Were her own. After about a month Or two of my father's depression he Came back stronger than ever. Well
For working purposes. He then
Started to work more hours. We Barley ever saw him. By the time he Came home it was way past our Bed times. But I do briefly remember him coming into my Room and giving me a kiss on the Cheek before saying good night. And for this I was grateful. I really Never had a close relationship with My father in till I was about 17. I
Think this is because, my brother Noah was graduating High School And going to NYU for collage. I Think this was an awakening for Him. He then started talking to us Kids, asking us how our day was,
Fatherly things like that. He started Working less hours helping Noah Prepare for the move. This was Going to be a big change for all Of us. I then realized my father was Actually recovering from my Mother's death by doing all these
Things. He became happier, and Just all out a better person. Almost Like how he was before my mother Passed. Durning our younger ages My siblings and I all became very
Close. We all stuck together.
Noah's move was hard for Justice And I, Me especially. Noah wasn't Really a brother to me, more like a Father. He was very protective and I Knew if I ever had problems I would Always go to him. Soon after Noah's move we all Had a ruff time in the beginning. We Called each other everyday, it was Great. As time went on my father And I became closer. I filled him in On my life when I was younger. This Helped a lot. He soon became the Father I knew before my mother Passed. Soon after this happened I fell In love. My first real love. His name Was Nathan. He was a perfect
Boyfriend. We loved each other
With everything we had. We were Together for about a year and a Half. We were both 18 when we Broke things off. Not because we Fell out of love with each other But because collage was coming Up. I was heading off to NYU and He was headed to Notre Dame in Indiana. He had a football scholarship, so of course I encouraged him to take it. We both Decide to go our separate ways And not keep contact with each Other. We broke up on our last day
of senior year. The last thing we Said to each other was "I love you" I was very sad over the next couple Of months. My sister Justice and My father helped very much.
Always saying encouraging words To me. To this very day I still Think I love him. I mean he Was my world. At least I thought he Was. So today September seventh is my first day of College. My father and Justice are In the plane with me taking this Journey with me. I knew it was Going To be hard for me to leave Them. But an upside to this is I Finally get To be with my brother Noah!
Who I haven't seen in months, I've Missed him like crazy!
So right now I'm on a plane, to not only my new home but hopefully to

A new Beginning.
