I have the person I love as neighbour. Of course the guy didn’t know it. I can honestly say that Jeremy is the densest guy out there. He just didn’t take a hint! You’d think that walking in half-naked into his apartment would spark something, but he just brushes it off.
I had first met Jeremy Quentin when I was nine years old.
It was August when my family had just moved into Wellbrooke, and I couldn’t help but hate it. Our old home was in New York City—the Big Apple, one of the hearts of America. The city was practically bustling in movement from different activities. Everyone was always going about to their daily routines, leaving no room for silence.
In comparison, Wellbrooke was just boring. The city—a town really—had a suburban plot.

My dad died when I was six and my mom just lost it. Depression, grief, numbness. It was hard to pick herself up when the person that promised her forever, left before even staying half of that amount. Sometimes I resent him for that.
Don’t get me wrong! I love my dad. He was the most amazing person in the world. I barely lived and he already made such an impact.
But my mom loves my dad in on a completely different level than my brother and I. Even now I can still remember the looks that my mom and dad would give each other. Looks that hugged their entire essence and kissed their souls. Looks that my mom will never see again.
When my dad died it just screwed things over. It broke more than her heart, but also her mind, her body, and her soul. His death left so many things beyond repair and it hurt to see it. To see my mother fall apart. To see my family fall apart.
All that effort lead my family to Wellbrooke of all places. I wanted to stay, God knew I wanted to stay! Wellbrooke had nothing to offer me, nothing but Jeremy

When I was younger, I accidentally tackled Jeremy. To be fair, my older brother Matthias raised me into expressing my affections in a way that reflected the wrestling movies of WWE that came on every Saturday afternoon. Saying Jeremy was pissed off was an extreme understatement.
It was at that time when I fell in love with Jeremy Quentin, which is weird because I never really understood what love was. To me love—romantic love—was just this afterthought. It didn’t seem to matter much to me because I had my family and that was all that really mattered.
So when that fuzzy feel started to appear every time Jeremy was around I thought I sick. It wasn’t normal to feel giddy all of sudden—to have your bodying tingling from the slightest touch. It wasn’t normal to feel that way to my best friend.
The feeling only continued to grow and would evidentially manifest a mind of its own. I could no longer suppress the emotion, it demanded attention and nourishment. So I fed into it. Little by little, I let love grow. I cared for it, protected it, and I watched it evolve into something that would affect my entire life
not think it was love, but I cannot be sure. I had never felt this way
Finding out about my grandmothers death was the saddest moment in my life . I didn't understand . I didn't expect it to happen , not to me . I wondered why god had taken an important person away from my life , ad for that i felt confused and miserable . I cried for hours that day . Nothing could have brought me joy that day but the presence of my grandmother , but she was gone and i found it hard to overcome the situation.
The night in the city was going to be especially cold tonight. The sky had been overcast for almost the entire day, leading to a brief although torrential downpour in the mid-afternoon. The streets of the Bronx outside the third-story apartment window that Leonard Jefferson Bennings now looked out were saturated from the July rainstorm and shone with a glimmer he remembered seeing from his bedroom window in Massachusetts many years ago. He wondered if he would ever get to see his childhood home again, and, if he did, would the world of his youth still exist even there? Like the final beams of sunlight of the day, his hope was growing faint as he looked out on what had once been the metropolitan heart of his country.
“Mom, when I grow up, I’m moving to New York City!” I remember telling my mother at the tender age of twelve. That dream of living in the Big Apple stayed on the back of my mind until it finally became a reality. At was twenty years old, I was ready to come into my own, so I made one of the most significant decisions of my life; a decision that is most responsible for the evolvement of a young boy having to quickly become a man. I moved to New York City. Soon, I would learn that along with all the excitement and responsibilities associated with this new chapter of my life also came a ton of fear and many lonely nights. Fending for myself would be the only way to survive. After all, this was an enormous unfamiliar city
New York City’s population is a little over 8.3 million people. 8.3 million people are spread out among five boroughs and each have their own set routine. Each one of those 8.3 million see New York in a different way becuase “You start building your private New York the first time you lay eyes on it” (“City Limits” 4). Some people are like Colson Whitehead who “was born here and thus ruined for anywhere else” (“City Limits” 3). Others may have “moved here a couple years ago for a job. Maybe [they] came here for school” (“City Limits” 3). Different reasons have brought these people together. They are grouped as New Yorkers, but many times, living in New York is their only bond. With on going changes and never ending commotion, it is hard to define New York and its inhabitants in simple terms.

Let us first look at adults and grieving. Here the relationship with the decedent is a primary factor in the grieving process. When parents experience the loss of a child, it is considered the “most difficult of deaths” (Leming & Dickinson, 2011, p. 492). The cycle of life dictates that the older shall die first. When this cycle is broken with the death of a child, adults are not prepared for the death. The hope for the future is threaten within the family, and thoughts of what should have been, what will be missed linger. Mothers will talk more about the death while Fathers will keep busy with tasks in an attempt to avoid expressing their feelings (Leming & Dickinson, 2011, p. 492). There may be marital discord as w...
When Willy and Linda purchased their home in Brooklyn, it seemed far removed from the city. Willy was young and strong and he believed he had a future full of success. He and his sons cut the tree limbs that threatened his home and put up a hammock that he would enjoy with his children. The green fields filled his home with wonderful aromas. Over the years, while Willy was struggling to pay for his home, the city grew and eventually surrounded the house.
My father was always there for me, whether I wanted him to be or not. Most of the time, as an adolescent trying to claim my independence, I saw this as a problem. Looking back I now realize it was a problem every child needs, having a loving father. As hard as I tried to fight it, my dad instilled in me the good values and work ethic to be an honest and responsible member of society. He taught me how to be a good husband. He taught me how to be a good father. He taught me how to be a man. It has been 18 years since my father’s death, and I am still learning from the memories I have of him.
Imagine growing up without a father. Imagine a little girl who can’t run to him for protection when things go wrong, no one to comfort her when a boy breaks her heart, or to be there for every monumental occasion in her life. Experiencing the death of a parent will leave a hole in the child’s heart that can never be filled. I lost my father at the young of five, and every moment since then has impacted me deeply. A child has to grasp the few and precious recollections that they have experienced with the parent, and never forget them, because that’s all they will ever have. Families will never be as whole, nor will they forget the anguish that has been inflicted upon them. Therefore, the sudden death of a parent has lasting effects on those
Something that I really struggled with was the passing of my Grandmother. She was a strong woman and an inspiration to everybody in my family. I think that I struggled with it because she was a great human being, I kind of looked up to her a bit, and of course she was part of my family. I think that along with her passing, I struggled with the fact that she died when I thought that she did nothing wrong in her entire life and did not deserve to die. Mainly the fact that she was a really good person and she just died like that.
At first, one of the best memories is when I saw my love for the first time. I saw her at the American embassy in my country Bangladesh. She went to the embassy to pick up her visa and at the same time I also went there to pick up my visa. After I saw her, I had feeling for her so that I want to be with her. Love at first sig...
I always had, and still have, a very good relationship with my parents. Some things have altered slightly over time but not too much. I used to adore my father. Like most young kids, I thought that my dad was the best thing since sliced bread. My feelings began to shift as I started to grow up.
“Love is universally accepted by many people and the concept of love within the English language refers to a variety of different approaches, states and attitudes, ranging from pleasure to interpersonal attraction.” (Kendrick 123) My characterization of love encourages the intimate emotion I partake for my family. The distinct connection that we fashioned and the invaluable moments that we consolidated. In the perceptive of a mother, my children are my supremacy and the greatest blessing of my lifecycle. They’re my inspiration and motivation to continue progressing and becoming the best at what I do. With that in mind, Love relics your outlooks and approaches the linkage they become associated with. Consequently, this condition can fluctuate over a period of a specific time. Additionally, depending on your situation, your perspective on love can be an altering affect, creating a stable or inconsistent assessment. Furthermore, causing your love to intensify, decline, or even cease. Love in its essence, stands justly powerful and the beauty of it advances,
By this time I lost three of my grandparents and a couple close friends. I became accustomed to going to funerals. This one was no different. The only thing that was different was it was my father. I got over it rather quickly.
