Goodbye

It is amazing how many things we take for granted. We make plans for the day, and don't think twice about how those plans can be taken away in the blink of an eye. I never thought much about it myself, until I was faced with the shock, and undeniable truth of my cousin's death. I don't think anyone really thinks about tragedy until they are actually faced with shocking news.

It was a bright and warm summer morning when I woke from a good night sleep. Nothing prepared me for the dark, gloomy and sad day ahead of me. You see, this was the day that my cousin and childhood best friend passed away in an auto accident.

Bright, intelligent, loving and caring 16 year old, these are words to describe her but let me to you how I seen her. From as early as I can remember her and I we...

    Can you single out just one day from your past that you can honestly say changed your life forever? I know I can. It was a typical January day, with one exception; it was the day the Pope came to St. Louis. My brother and I had tickets to the youth rally, and we were both very excited.

  • Personal Narrative: My Eulogy

    2645 Words  | 6 Pages

    Ben was a boy who quickly grew into a man because of the situation life gave him. He made many mistakes, but he always acknowledged, made up, grew, and learned from them. He valued honesty, integrity, knowledge, understanding of others, and most importantly, doing good for others not because you he had to, but because you wanted to. He strongly believed in passing those values on to others through actions more than words. His most endearing qualities were his lust for truth and knowledge and to educate others about it, the need to always be a good person, and to help others out at the sacrifice of his time even though he never saw it as a sacrifice. He always wanted to make the world a better place, but those ambitions also made

It didn’t matter because she was there and she made me feel safe. She’s my best friend, and I love her and admire her for so many different reasons.

  • Losing A Loved One Essay

    I would think that nobody really knows how they would cope with the death of someone you were really close to until it actually happens to them. Losing a loved one is like having your heart ripped out from your chest. Many people wonder and imagine what we would do when someone we love passes away. I never thought of death as something hurtful, until my grandmas death. I do not think anyone really thinks about tragedy until they are actually faced with the life changing news when it occurs. It amazes me how we all take life for granted.

    They say absence makes the heart grow fonder but yet, abstinence is slowly killing me softly. It's been about 2 year, 4 months, 17 hours, and 32 minutes now of me being single yet, I still have hope that he will come back to me. We departed from each other on bad terms and, it was entirely his fault. How could he be so lackadaisical and half hearted with the only thing he cares about in this world? These types of thoughts coil around my head all day long but, this should not be my main focus. As I lay in this dark room, with the curtains clothes, and on my silky black bed set, there's virtually no way to escape depression. I can still smell the mixture of his axe spray accompanied with the old spice body wash, that he liked.

I didn’t know what was happening. The only thing I could do was kick, scream and cry to the point where they’d have to let me go. But, they didn’t, I wished they did. All I could think about was why? Why are these people taking me away? I was hoping my Grandpa would come to my rescue and stop them. Wishing he wouldn’t have allowed those men to take me. I was terrified. No one was there for me, no one stopped them. Everyone watched, but they didn’t do anything to help. Why weren’t they helping me? My own family just letting it happen.
