Hi. My name is Lia. So, my mom battled cancer for 10 years, and last year she died in the hospital. It was the worst night of my light, and I still have nightmares of her screams. I have always had OCD, but a few months after her passing, I started to feel so sick and tired, I couldn't even walk up the stairs. I went to see my mom's old doctor, and she told me the news. I had gotten Leukemia. Apparently it was part of my genetics, and it was a dormant gene in my mom, meaning she had two diseases. During the summer the Corona virus struck, and my grandpa got it. A few weeks later he died from heart failure, cancer, and the corona virus, all mixed together. This hurt me inside, as we were really close. A few days later, I tried to commit suicide. I had the knife in my hand when my friend, Huajing, stopped me. After that we became best friends, side from my friend Emma, who would kill me for not mentioning her. That's basically it, sorry fr boring you with my depressing life story.
