Everything Will Be Okay.

The Beginning

Hi, my name is Hope and this is my story of me and my battles. Lets start off with my first battle.

I was in elementary school at the time when my grandfather died. This is when I started to have all kinds of emotions like real anger and sadness because before then I had never really felt them.

A year or so later my other grandfather died. This hit me particulary hard because he was one of those people who you only meet once in a life time. Keep in mind I am only like 8 or 9 when this happened and he was like my whole world.

There is this particular memory I have after he passed away. It was my birthday and I had gotten a birthday card from my grandmother. I had opened it up and I read it. I got down to the signatures and I wanted to keep my tears in but I couldn't so I ran to my dad saying, "I miss him! I miss him!" My dad started crying with me when he saw the card.

Just about a year later my uncle on my mom's side of the family had gone on a hunting trip with his girlfriend. They were going back home and they were really tired. My uncle fell asleep behind the wheel and the car rolled. My uncle didn't have his sit belt on and he flew out of the winshield into the grass.

I remember my mom getting a call from her mother. My mom got out of her chair and raised over to her keys and her shoes and out the door. I remember staying awake until my mom got home looking mad. Everything from then till my mom yelling at me, "He was my brother!" is all gone.

These three little battles would change me into something I never thought would happen to me in the end.
