This is a paper that Beckah had to write. I was so touched by it and I wanted to share it.
Sorrow of a Loss
'Ring, ring, hello' said my dad it was my mom, 'can you bring the kids over I need to tell them something' said mom. Creek went the door as we walked in. 'Sit please' said mom silence then quickly Mom and Kevin saying you’re going to another sibling!!! 'Well what do you think'? 3 are happy but my 1 year younger brother says I think this one going to heaven too with hope and precious once again silence then Robbie how could you say that said Ryan my older brother .
It has been 5 months all is great. Then 'hey kids' we all came knowing something was bad with tear filled eyes my mom said that something is wrong. That something was wrong with the baby. My mom was heading for the hospital. Hour by hour I’m waiting trying to stay calm it seemed like my heart was beating 10 times faster. Ring, ring, I checked the caller id toll free I thought we have no time for this. Five minuets then ring, ring, its mom. Hello I said 'sorry kids your sister isn’t going to make it' that moment I burst into tears. The other kids asked me what Mom said and I said the worst.
I’ll call you back when I get more news. That day my sister was born and about 10 min later she was gone. Waiting for the call was like waiting for someone to punch you. Ring, ring, hello it’s Kevin “sorry kids you sister is dead”. After I heard this and the fact that my mom was in surgery I couldn’t think straight. I thought I might lose my mom, my sister, and my faith. I was tired sad and I missed my mom.
It’s been 3 days since we saw our mom. When my mom walked in we gave her cards, hugs, and kisses. She liked all her gifts but it still couldn’t compare to the daughter she lost. Weeks then months go by mom still hurts it was hard for her to get out of bed in the morning.
It’s been 8 months there is still sadness creeping in the house. My sisters name is Grace cause God gave us his grace. We still miss her but it doesn’t hurt With the burning in my heart like before. My sister taught me that God does every thing for a reason. I miss my sister but I know she is in a better place that no human can imagine. |
