This summer was a big wake up call for me. It showed me how precious life is. I remember I was having a normal day until my mom had texted me and said that my sister’s husband had a heart attack. The first feeling I felt when I read those words on my phone was despair. I felt bad my sister has three younger kids and I couldn’t feel for the kids any more than I did, I knew they would be worried sick when they found out their dad had to be rushed to the hospital. As soon as I read my mom’s message I went straight home. My mom was on the phone with my sister when I arrived and she was crying. When my sister was 13 her dad had died from a heart attack so I knew that this was nothing but déjà vu for her. My mom and I had went and got my sister’s kids from their dad’s mom. My sister has three kids Emma who’s in 6th grade, Macy who’s in 3rd grade, and Grady who’s in 1st grade. They had all heard that their dad was in the hospital and right when we picked them up they were asking me if I had heard about their daddy, I told them that I did and that I loved them and things will be okay.

It felt good for things to feel back to normal and I felt good knowing that my sister was getting a break. This tragic incident in my life showed me how precious your life is and how it can be taken in a second. Since this happened my sister and mom moved to Paris and have kind of started over. My sister says she’s happy and she slowly feels things falling back into place. Time heals all
