“Valerie” I yelled, she didn’t reply back. “Mom she’s gone,” I said. Valerie and my mom and me were spending the best time of our lives at Knott’s Berry Farm. We were going on the ride called super bullet. I told my sister “come on don’t be scared,” but she said no. I told my mom stay here with Valerie and my mom said, “Ok. I’ll stay and you go on the ride.” I told my mom thank you. Then when my mom was standing there my sister wandered off by herself. My mom said, “Valerie what other ride do you want to go on?” Valerie didn’t reply back so my mom yelled, “VALERIE WHAT OTHER RIDE DO YOU WANT TO GO ON?” Valerie still didn’t reply back. So when my mom turned around she wasn’t there. My mom yelled “Valerie where are you.” When I got off of the
On the bus ride home, I noticed that my sister wasn’t there which then triggered sceneries of what could've happened to her, all with unpleasant endings. On the bus, I saw my brother and felt relief that it wasn't him. My sister was still nowhere to be found so I asked him if he knew where she was but he also didn't know.
I called Momma Defreese and asked if she could give me a ride to the game. She said “yes”. I was home alone so I had to make sure that I was ready before she got to my house because my mom wasn’t home to tell me when to start getting read. I decided it was time to start getting ready and when it was time for here to come pick me I made sure all the lights in the house were off, the doors were locked and that the dogs had been taken care of. I waited by the door and the saw Momma Defreese pulling up in the driveway.
It was the last Saturday in December of 1997. My brother, sister, and I were chasing after each other throughout the house. As we were running, our parents told us to come and sit down in the living room. They had to tell us something. So, we all went down stairs wondering what was going on. Once we all got down stairs, the three of us got onto the couch. Then, my mom said, “ Well…”
On that fateful day in March, I was a couple months shy of my third birthday. My family and I lived in New Mexico at the time and were renting a house with an outdoor in-ground pool. The day was beautiful. I was outside with my oldest sister Rachel and my father. Rachel was diligently reading curled up on a bench that sat against the house, and my father was mowing the backyard. My mother and my other sister were in the house. Off to one side of the house there was a group of large bushes. I was playing over there with one of her large cooking pots, off in my own little world. At one point while amusing and en...
When I was around ten years old, my mom took me to my first week long camp. I packed all my cute clothes, my three favorite stuffed animals, candy, and a book for the car ride. I circled the house two times to make sure I hadn’t forgotten anything. Clothes check, toothbrush even though I wouldn’t use it check, book check. Everything seemed to be accounted for so I got in the car. Despite the hour long car ride that was ahead of me, which was an eternity for a ten year old, I was thrilled. My best friend, Amy, was coming and there would be horseback riding. We had been friends since the baby program, ECFE, at church. She was homeschooled and I went to public school, however we had many play dates so we saw each other a lot. Our favorite thing
On a hot Saturday during the summer, my parents called my brother, John, and I downstairs. John and I raced down stairs to see what my parents needed. They replayed the voicemail to us. It was my aunt saying to pack our bags, because she was taking us on a surprise trip. My brother and I were overcome with excitement as we packed our stuff and awaited my aunt on the steps of our house. After what seemed like many hours later, my aunt showed up to get us. We quickly told our parents “Bye!” and jumped in the car, guessing our surprise destination.
Two weeks earlier…we had arrived in Michigan for my grandmas 50th birthday. It was hotter in Michigan than Kentucky that summer and we were staying with my great Aunt Cherie so my grandma would be surprised when she saw us at her party. We had breakfast at Leo’s Coney Island with some of my family. While we were at breakfast our Uncle Keith watched our dog, Molly. When we were in the
It was time to go on the bus. The big bus would take us to the ATV cars. It seemed to be a windy, breezy day. I could feel the wind splat on my face as my hair got crazy. Within the forty-group, it included my cousins and most of my family friends who we hung out with. This experience was never going to happen again, so I tried to make the most of it. The weather was exquisite, the clear blue sky, the breezy wind, and the blazing, warm weather. As all the kids chatted and enjoyed the ride, we ate small snacks, such as goldfish and cookies. It was the best thing since sliced bread that we ate because I would have got really hungry. The cookies tasted like a little round piece of heaven, as the goldfish was like a rainbow of flavors on your tongue that combined deliciously. I jumped up and down with adrenaline, as we reached closer to our destination. The ride was about twenty-five minutes. Everyone was
My father's eyes opened, and he called out for my sister Kelly and I to come to him. In a very serious and sad voice, he told us that he was very sick, and he was going to the Fort Wayne hospital. My mother told Kelly and I to help her pack some things for him, because he was going to be leaving soon. We helped her pack, keeping quiet because we did not want to interrupt the silence that had taken over the room.
Finally, on Saturday morning , the sun was shining brightly. At about 11 AM, my neighbor, Jaime, called me and asked me if I would like to ride bikes with her. She was two years younger than me and just as much a daredevil. I didn't hesitate for a moment. I put on my sneakers and headed out the door. I can still hear my mother saying,. "You just got your cast taken off your arm.
It was a dark and cold night as we were driving from Gresham, Oregon, to Anaheim, California. All the children were in the back seat sound asleep except for me. My mom was in the front seat asleep as my dad drove.
Later that splendid morning, my mom did some laundry while I joyfully watched television in one of two living rooms they had. All of a sudden my aunt bellowed from the
One year for my parent’s anniversary, they decided to go out of town on a small vacation and leave my sisters and I home with Grammy. One afternoon we tried coming up with something for us to do, so I had suggested sliding down the foyer stairs while inside a sleeping bag. Of course everyone loved the idea and wanted to try it out, including Grammy. As we walked up the steps, the anticipation began to build and I became filled with eagerness. Since I had suggested the idea, I got to go first so I set myself up on the steps. Between counting down from five to one and sliding down the steps at the speed of light, I had already hit the bottom before I could blink. I had then brought the sleeping bag back up to the top for Grammy to go next. I could tell her nervousness set in a bit, but nothing was going to stop her from sliding down those stairs with us. We slowly counted backwards to one and she took off flying down the stairs faster than we had counted down her departure. As Grammy came to the last couple of stairs, she had realized that the sleeping bag slowing down could not be an option no matter how much she tried to stop it. Within a second, she had landed at the bottom of the steps and flew directly into the front door. My sisters and I all stopped and stared for a second or two to collect what had just happened, but before we could say anything Grammy rolled over on her back and began to laugh
After we got off the airplane, we rented a car and drove to my Uncle Joe?s house. We finally got there and then we all went out to eat dinner. We went to some Italian restraunt and boy was it good. To this day, I have never tasted anything as good as the Veal Picata I had that day. I ate so much that I could hardly move and once I got back to my uncle?s, I just passed out and went to bed. I had a big and exciting day ahead of me. I was going to Universal Studios and I couldn?t wait.
After church, my parents decided we should go to the botanical gardens and spend the rest of the day there. My dad had an old Chevy that sounded pretty good; it got us where we needed to go. It had some rust on the edges here and there, but all and all it was a good running car. The inside smelled like pine because my dad washed the car that mourning and he always bought a freshener to make it smell like that. I never knew why he liked that smell because I hated it; it always got me sick in that car, but today I didn’t mind because we were going to have a fun time in the Botanical Gardens.
