Recommended: The grieving process reflections

In seventh grade I experienced a great tragedy: my guinea pig died suddenly. I had Mr. Fluffy for two year and I loved him dearly. After he died, I was heartbroken for a very long time. One day my mom told me we were going to visit her friend Peg”s farm. I didn’t feel like going out, but my mom insisted. So, we drove for 40 long minutes to this big farm out in the county. There were cows, goats, dogs, cats, and even a few horses. Peg gave us a little tour of the place. I didn’t understand why my mom insisted I come to this, It was just a regular farm. Finally we went to the main barn. The first thing I saw was this tiny white and gray kitten, sitting all by itself. When it saw me, it came over and made the squeakiest little meow. Peg

    Finally at the end of my escape to "Bookland" (as dumb as it may sound), I decided to go back out to my parents. My mom called my dad, who, unbeknownst to me at that time, was at the car getting our family’s jackets. She told him that she was going to take me down the boardwalk further, and browse more stores. After she hung up, we headed down the long line of shops and restaurants, pausing occasionally to walk inside the quaint, snugly side-by-side stores and browse their individual items on sale. Eventually, my mom got tired, so we found a bench to sit on and patiently waited for my dad.

We stopped by Speedway gas-station and we both got our favorite flavors of tea. Kylee’s was half and half, mine was peach flavored. She did always love making fun of me for liking peach flavored tea “That’s what the girl is supposed to get idiot.” She would say. So we walked back toward our houses, but this time we stepped through the small field that sits between Tractor Supply and our street.

  • Happiness Comes From Within

    Their farm was two hundred acres of corn fields, cows, pigs, and, of course, chickens. No farm would be complete without chickens. At the southeast corner of the farm, behind the smaller corn field, was the brook with clear cold water that reached past my knees. On most weekends my family would go to visit our friends, the Tailors, who had at one time seven boys to keep them company. All of them were grown with their own lives to attend to, except for Dan, who stayed on at the farm to help keep up the crops. His younger brother Dave still came back to the farm, from the busy city, to visit and bring his children to see their grandparents. Even though they were about the same age as my brother and I, we did not play with them because they were greedy and didn't suit our playing qualifications by continuously changing rules and cheating. It was rare that we encountered them anyhow, and that suited us fine. Most of the time we would stay the whole weekend. Our parent's elected to sleep in a tent, while my brother and I slept in one of the many cozy bedrooms of the farmhouse. We loved it there and secretly both he and I wished that we could stay forever. There were separate reasons why we loved it there.
