I was 10 years old when something terrible happend to me. It was the weekend and my mom had left for work. My dad woke me up on a Saturday morning and said " katie katie my guts are about to fall out" so I called 911 and asked for a ambulance. They came and took my dad. My nonnie came and got me and my brother. Later on that day the released my dad from the hospital and they said he had a hernia, he was taking medicine for it. A couple weeks later he told my mom to take him to the hospital, and she did. She called me saying " katie I have something to tell you" I said go ahead she said " your father has cancer" all I could do it cry she told me he only had a year to live. I cried even harder. He was in the hospital for a month. It was spring break and he finally got to come home. I was at my aunts house And my mom called her and said " being the kids home" it was March 12 and my boyfriends birthday and he came over and stayed with me for a week. Well March 15 was the huge tragic of my life. I was outside tanning and my brother walked out side and said go say your goodbyes. As I was laying in the bed with my dad he was holding my hand really tight and 5 mins later I didn't feel his hand. He was gone he had gained his wings. I was crying so hard he was my bestfriend. I didn't know what to do and the police and everybody else came over was taking him out of my house. While he was home my dads friend horace was living with us to help with my dad. After my dad passed away my mom and horace got together and I was so angry because he has always been my dads good friend but I knew I had to get Over it. He was really good to my mom and brother and I. I had been through school and I was March 15 had made a year that my dad was gone and not a day went by that I didn't think of him. Then that November I came home from school and there was a note on the table and it was from my mom and it said that horace had taken her to the er. She called me and told me that they were doing x-rays on her. I told her to call me when she found out what was wrong. She finally did she had gallstone and then they sent her home. It was December and my mom was out of work because of her gallstones and Christmas was coming up and she didn't have any money so we didn't have a big Christmas but I was ok with it. Well 2 weeks later she went back and they Life flighted her to Galveston to have surgery. They were going in for surgery and they couldn't take her gallbladder out because he liver was swollen. The soon found out that she had liver cancer. It was the worst when she told my family because her whole body was yellow because she had jaundice. She looked so sick and my mom was always a strong women she would give you the shirt off her back. It was the last week in February and they sent her home. She sleep on the couch bc she was to weak to get in her bed. I would kiss& hug her everyday before I left the house for school and each day she just looked worse and worse. She quit walking and she wouldn't talk. The only person she would talk to was me. Well it was Friday February 28 and I was going to my friend evie's house. I had gave my mom and kiss and a tight long hug before walking out of the door for school and she hadn't talked in 2 days and I said " I love you mom" and she said " I love you to katie michelle" it made me cry. Well saturday me and Evie was going to our school dance and something hit me and I felt all werid. I told evie i said " my mom is either going to die tonight or tomorrow morning I have a feeling" she just gave me a hug. We got home from the snake and had stayed up all night. So we were sleeping in. We finally got up and I was scrolling through facebook and my brother had posted a status and said " mom gained her wings" and evie said I'm going to go make something to eat and I said ok. She walked back in the room and seen me crying and said "what's wrong?" I showed her the post and she hugged me. I said let me see you phone I called my house phone and horace answered and I said how's mom and he Said " the man upstairs called her home" so I hung up the phone and started crying more. Then evie's mom walked and asked what was wrong? Evie told her and she hugged me and I started crying even more. A couple days later was her funeral and all my friends missed school and came. My other half corleigh walked in and walked up to me and gave me a hug and I started crying. The funeral started. Then we went to the burial and I didn't want to say my last goodbyes. It horrible. I fianally told her goodbye with corleigh next to me. I had to move schools for the first time ever in my life. I had went to the same small school my whole life and lived in the same house for almost 13 years. The move was a big thing for me. I moved in with my aunt and uncle in vidor. My first day at vidor was really scary I thought I was going to get bullied but I didn't. I was the "new girl" so everyone thought I was cool. I made many friends at vidor, in 7th grade I was really shy and now in 8th grade I'm not shy any more. I'm in alithetics and I made the basketball team. This girl name shelby moved in to althetics and we became Bestfriends when we started playing basketball together. I have been doing really good since the big Tragics in my life but I have came a long way. There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't think About my parents... As the new year had done it has started off bad with my cousin cass passing away. I will never forget you! I hope for good tiniest this year bc 2014 was not a good year!
