Personal Narrative: Reach The Mount Everest Summit

I had dreamt of this moment my whole life. I spent my entire life hoping for this, saving every single penny that I could, living on the bare minimum, all for this. I deposited the final £1,500 into my savings account, and in that moment I felt my eyes water, my heart suddenly begin to race. Everything I 'd been saving for, was about to become a reality.
Ever since I was young, I 've wanted to reach the top of the world. I 've wanted to stand where only a few hundred have stood; I want to see a view that only the strongest of climbers have ever been privileged enough to bare witness to. I want to experience that feeling where for just a few moments; I 'm the tallest person in the world.
My dream? Reach the Mount Everest Summit.
Why? Because.

She cried with me, she 'd always wanted to reach the Summit, but money was a problem.
See, we didn 't grow up with a lot of money, we lived on the bare minimum which is why I managed to survive so happy for so long living that kind of life just to save up the money, I was used to it. So continuing to live that life was no kind of struggle for me, even though I had almost £60,000 in my savings account, I knew that money couldn 't be touched. That money for was for me to accomplish my dream, for me to reach the top of the world!
However, regardless of my Mums tears and secret minuet jealousy, I could hear the ecstatic excitement in her voice as she asked me a billion questions, getting way too ahead of herself, as Mothers do. She wanted to know if I had packed everything; including my toothbrush (do Mums ask us that throughout our entire lives? No matter how old I get, it 's her first question). She wanted to know if I 'd bought all the correct gear to do the climb with. She wanted to know that I 'd paid for the best Sherpa Guidance that I could afford. She wanted to know every detail of my trip. You know what the best part about it is? I hadn 't even booked ANY of it, I had literally transferred the final bit of money into my savings account no longer than 20 minutes ago. Remember what I said about getting ahead of herself? I love her though,

We had a chance, and we took it. We set out while it was still cold and dark, to try and ensure our safety over the ice fall. There is a big danger of avalanches over the icefall, these happen when the sun is shining down onto the mountain, which is why we wanted to get over that part of the mountain while it was still dark. We eventually made it to Camp One, up at 19,500 feet. A big part of the journey is acclimatising. This happens over the course of the journey, each camp we reach, we acclimatise more. Until we reach the death zone, then the oxygen comes out, that comes later though!
Back to my stay at Camp One. Things got a little weird while I was staying here, but I 've just put it down to slight altitude sickness(I mean, I felt absolutely fine, however things around me were... odd?). At first nothing seemed out of the ordinary, however the Camp seemed oddly empty. Even Lorri was nowhere to be seen. We knew no one had decided to ascend the mountain yet, so they had to be around here somewhere. I 'd figured after a while they 'd possibly went back down to Base Camp for more supplies or to contact
