To my best friend, Life isn’t the same without you. There isn’t a day it goes by that I don’t think about you. I miss spending time with you and just laughing or making fun of my sister together. I miss getting ready to go to the park to watch the soccer team play and spot “our guys”. I miss trying on your sisters’ dresses and heels and hiding her make up. I called your mom two days ago, and we were talking about you, she told me that she had found a pair of my pjs in one of your drawers and I told her to left them there just in case I wanted to sleepover there and I had forgotten my stuff like I always did. She started crying and so did I. Boston is just like your sister told us about, but you are missing in every picture I take, in every moment I live. I need you back. I know you are up there looking out for me, but sometimes I just wish you were here with me. Sometimes I wake up at nights because I think I hear you laugh then I realize that I was just dreaming about you. Please come back, I’m not strong enough to handle all of this without you; I need your strength and your laugh to brighten my darkest days. I just miss my best friend. With love, Maria. Not knowing what is going to happen in the future makes life more interesting and scary at the same time. Everything could be perfect one second and the next one everything could be like a nightmare. It was January 3rd 2006 when the phone rang at like 5 pm; I was laying in my parents’ bed watching CSI with my mom. She picked up the phone and before I could notice she was crying a river. I didn’t understand what had happened, but I knew it wasn’t good. She hung up and cried even more. I gave her my shoulder to cry but instead she ended up giving me her shoulder to cry as she... ... middle of paper ... ...n my heart always. Life is too short to wonder, live a little and forgive a lot. Physically she is not here with me, but she is always in my heart. I know I have an angel in heaving waiting for me with her arms width open, but until then, I know she is giving me strength to live for the both of us. So, Dear Mawi, Here I am in Boston going after our dreams. I might not be here with you, but I am having the best time of my life. I haven’t finished our bucket list yet, but I will soon. And I’m taking care of your sister, I make sure her make up is still hidden and her closet a mess. It sucks that now she knows who to blame. I have to thank you because you knew how much I always wanted an older sister, and you gave me one, and I also got you. I miss you everyday more and more but I know that you are taking care of me. I’ll see you soon my angel. With love, Maria.
I close this essay with a message to anyone who may be reading this or even have the same troubles as me. Life will always throw challenges in your way, you will be lost at times and even scared to death. But in the end you will prevail. “Each day of life is a gift, that is why it is called the present”
You are the light in my life, my happiest thought in the darkest of times. I know that you’re always there for me, no matter what. I have so many wonderful memories with you in the time that we have been together. It seems that everything about you fills my heart with love, even a simple smile makes my heart beat faster. Even after a year being with you, I find myself falling more and more in love with you each time I’m with you. It’s like an endless sea; the moment I think I cannot love you anymore, you do something so warm and thoughtful, and the ocean overflows. I find it hard to put into words just how much you mean to me, because I feel as if there are not enough words in the world to say how I truly feel towards you. You have flipped my whole world upside-down, I never knew how committed and passionate I could be for
I think she’d want us to heal ourselves and move on. She’d want us to talk with our creator and deal with her death in our own way, but also put her death behind us and live a life that she would be proud of.
She was always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, she made my day better when everything went wrong and she was closer to me than my own sister. I know that she is gone now but she will
When I looked at you, I had nothing but honor and respect towards you. You were always someone who I could look up to and come to for advice when I needed someone to talk to. You looked at me as a grand-daughter and I saw you as a grandfather. I was just getting ready to come see you celebrate my first baseball win as the lead pitcher when my mother got the call. When she told me you passed away, I couldn’t breathe. I just stood there numb and in shock. I didn’t want to believe it. When it finally sank in, the tears were pouring down my face. I couldn’t control them. I felt like I just had my heart ripped out of my chest. Losing you was the most devastating experience I ever had. I was only 12 years old and never experienced a loss of a loved
I snatch a few moments this morning to write, and first of all will express my gratitude for your interesting & thrice welcome letter. I am very glad that you have made our Fairfield friends such a good visit. O! that I could have been with you, but I suppose you thought of your absent Sister. Sometimes, as I allow my thoughts to wander homeward, I sigh to be with loved ones again. The affections of my heart for my dear friends are so strong that it is exceedingly difficult to discipline myself to a separation even for a little time.
One late summer night when AAM was ten years old, she was cuddled up with her younger brother and sister in piles of sleeping bags on the floor. The pain of the last few months had graciously excused itself that night while hope, instead, was finally welcomed in. She remembers the night feeling carefree; especially once her parents came into join them. However, the happiness quickly vanished and heart-crushing fear began to set in as her parents said, “We have something to tell you.” Her heart began to beat unsteadily with each breath catching in her throat. She looked around to find her little brother and sister pale and lifeless. Her dad looked distant while her mom was epically failing at hiding her tears. All too soon the four most horrid words AAM would ever hear were said. “We are getting divorced,” her parents stated. At that moment, the entire world crashed down around her; leaving her helpless and alone. All she remembers today is her mom’s piercing cries in her parents’ old bedroom, and the terror-stricken fear of not knowing what will happen tomorrow.
Before, I could even take note, it was already October. It was time for me to pack everything in my room, and say my final goodbyes to my family members. I was going to leave everything that meant a lot to me behind. Previously, before October, we picked up my dad from the airport so that he could help us load all of our belongings to the U-Haul truck. Lily, ‘my cousin’, (we aren’t related, she is just a very close friend who I consider family) was staying with use because she want to see her father, who was also living in Denver. My mom and dad, sister, uncle, cousin, and I all stayed at the house one last night. I remember that my sister said that all her friends gathered around my mom’s car to wave goodbye to her. Her closest friends got very emotional and they started to cry. Not only did the move affect me, it also affected my sister greatly. It was like someone had given her a punch in the stomach. By the next day, we had everything in the U-Haul truck, and it was time for me to leave my precious Vegas behind. We had now started the drive to
I constantly wish I was with you, and the days I’m not with you, or the times I go awhile without seeing you, I feel like a part of me is missing. You’re my best friend, boyfriend, cuddle buddy, and ultimately the love of my life. You don’t even know how much I hate hearing that the both of us don’t know if we are going to be together in a year, five years, or ten. I don’t want anyone else. I’m scared of how I’ll be if you and I break up. I know if that ever does come to be finding someone will be so difficult because I’ll compare them to you the entire way through. I will always love you, no matter if we end on bad terms or good. Thank you so much for being so good to me and always putting up with
Thank you. You've helped me through the highs and lows in my life and was down from day 1. Sometimes I reminisce to that one raider practice and I still remember it like it was yesterday. I can't believe that an entire year has past between us. So many memories to look back at and so many more to come. Adriana, you mean to world to me and i can't imagine what my life be like if i didnt meet you. We have so much to come in future. So many more football games,police explorer meetings,hourlong facetime calls, so many more cookies and ¼ gallons of milk, and so many surprising you with swedish fish when you might not be having a good day, so many memories to come and i can’t wait to experience them all with you.
You just use the future to escape the present.” is appealing to me, because it represents something I hope to be. Too many times in my life I have missed great opportunities because I was so busy thinking, that I forgot to do. Every year my family and I go to Hocking Hills for a week-long vacation; Hocking Hills is known for its secluded cabins on top of the area’s mountainous terrain. One of the coolest things about Hocking Hills is the mass amount of zip line trails that weave in and out of the area’s most beautiful sites. For years I ignored the zip lines because of my fear of heights; I was caught up in thinking about the terror of the zip lines instead of just embracing my fears and enjoying the thrills. After ignoring the zip lines for years, last year I was finally convinced to go and it was well worth it. The beautiful waterfalls and amazing natural features kept my mind from dwelling on the fact that I was suspended 40ft in the air and protected only by a leather harness and a couple of thin wires. This zip line trip was one of the coolest things I’ve experienced and for years I had missed out on it because I couldn’t get past the mental
With each passing moment, my heart seems to yearn for our reunion with even greater ardor, despite my prior belief that my love for you had already reached the zenith of human emotion. Over the course of our long and painful separation, I have experienced and endured more than I ever thought I would within the vicinity of my time on this earth, and have been forced to drastically revise my interpretations of both pure bliss and anguish.
My stomach weakens with a thought that something is wrong, what would be the answer I could have never been ready for. I call my best friend late one night, for some reason she is the only person’s voice I wanted to hear, the only person who I wanted to tell me that everything will be okay. She answer’s the phone and tells me she loves me, as I hear the tears leak through, I ask her what is wrong. The flood gates open with only the horrid words “I can’t do this anymore”. My heart races as I tell her that I am on my way, what I was about to see will never leave my thoughts.
As humans, we tend wallow in despair and self- pity when our dreams and aspirations seem to disappear into thin air before our very eyes. While it is true that we might go through catastrophic situations that are irreversible, we can also choose to have a positive outlook towards life. I do appreciate the gift of life very much so many years ago, I made a commitment to myself that as difficult as it may be, I would live my life one day at a time. I try to control the situations that are within my reach but for those that are nature adaptive, I allow nature to take its course. After all, I’m just human!
It was a normal Saturday morning everything was going swell until, I awoke up from my slumber only to be left alone at home with my brother. In that short moment where my brother and I were left alone at home to survive I started to panic and overthink the worst-case scenario might happen. That our parents left us to fend for ourselves and we had to endure the up-coming obstacles that would soon arrive. In this experience, I learned not to overthink but to also be patient in and not make hasty decisions.
