Destruction of Faith

They say faith can mean a lot of things to people but how can you have faith in something you can't see; when you can’t see something then you start to struggle with believing. So the question is can you have faith in something you can't see?

On 336 Prescott Street in Seattle, lives a young man who had everything he could ever ask for and never wanted for nothing in his life. A nice two story home and had the car he has always wanted since he was sixteen. Just by looking at him you would think he had everything, and had it all together, the kind of guy you’d be jealous of, just because you couldn't afford what he had.

But in reality if you were in his shoes than you’d be the one that is jealous of you. Because what people couldn't see was that guy they was jealous of had an awful childhood. Whenever he was Eight years old, him and his father was in a car accident, which left him with a broken femur and tibia and his father dead.

That day will haunt him for the rest of his life. After the wreck his life seemed to keep sending curve balls because just months after his father's death his mother abandoned him in their home. After she left he felt that he was alone, but let’s face it he was alone his father was dead and his mother just left him this made the boy run to his room and ball up and cry.

Minutes later he heard a door shut which made the boy perk up thinking his mother was back that she was joking by saying she couldn't take it anymore and kissing him on his forehead. Once he went downstairs to see who it was he was disappointed that it was his just his grandmother on his dad's side. Even though he was happy that someone was with him no one could replace his mom and dad and nobody can take away his hurt.

As soon as hi...

... middle of paper ...

... a break. He had a splitting head ache from worrying, stressing and crying he just couldn't take it but he knew he had to read his grandmother’s letter because that is what she would want him to do and he knew that. So he took a couple deep breaths and preparing himself to read the letter, and finally he opened the envelope and started reading;
Dear Andrew,
My darling grandson, I know if you’re reading this letter then you’re going through a really rough time. I am terribly sorry for that I know there must be a thousand questions you want to ask and there is no answer. But that is one of the reasons I am writing this letter to you to explain a few thing. I’m sure by now you have found papers from my doctors about my health condition. I’m sorry I didn't tell you but I didn't want to worry you or have you to stress about losing me as you did with your parents.
