In Loving Memory

Three years ago on this very day my best friend, who was ten, was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma which is a type of bone cancer. Life was already hard enough for me with the problems of being tight with money and moving to a new school so this made my life a whole lot more stressful. She went to the best children's hospital in Minnesota but nothing was working. She came home for Christmas. She pulled me aside and asked " Haley, am I going to die?" And I pulled her into a hug and told her no. A few months went by and we were planning her birthday party together and I came home after a long day of school when her brother ran up to my sister and told they need to talk. She ran inside and pulled my mom into the bedroom to talk. They came out crying and my mom sat me down. I'll never forget what she said that day. She said that her little body was so tired from fighting the cancer and that she couldn't take it anymore and that she was with god and that she wasn't in pain anymore. I cried myself to sleep. The next day I went to school I hugged my teacher and told her she's gone, she's gone. She died four days before her birthday. I was eleven when I lost her. This was hard for me to wright but it is important to remember how kind and amazing she was. She'll be with me forever. 😔😔😔
