~ My Life story~



I was born on Feb 16, 1987

On that day i looked into her eyes

Not knowing in 15 years i would have to say good-bye

We never lived that perfect life

there was always fights

we moved from Texas were i was born

travled that road to Rhode Island all torn

We stayed there for 3 years

We had to leave with tears

We moved to Florida

where it was much warmer

leaving our family and friends

starting school was cool

after awhile i felt i didnt need that tool

it began in middle school

The news i got wasnt so cool

My mom had copd.a sickness in the lungs

from that day life became a big change

i had to start acting older then my age

helping her with the house

going to the doctors

my father wasnt much help

he did what he could

they started having problems

he left for about 3 months

from that point life was falling apart

school wasnt going so Great

the days were starting to deterate(sp)

life was going by so quick

she was becoming very sick

on feb 5,2003 she call for me

we were spost to go out

i walked to the kitchen were she was

she looked at me and asked for a hug

with tears in her eyes

this was her start of saying her good-byes

the words came out clearly

"Kayla i love you and be strong"

These words were coming to early

I ran to my room to hide

cusing her name hit the door

we called the pastor

he came shortly after

he talked we her alone in the room

something he had said made her in a happy mood

the rest of the night went gliding by

the next day was the one that gave me the most pain

she was so weak could hardly speak

she layed in the bed

in the back of my head hoping for her to awake

i knew soon God would take

I layed in the bed with her

falling asleep

i woke with such a great disbelife

She had fallen into a coma

i couldnt believe it she wouldnt awake

it was Feb 7

i did everything to get her to wake up

from saying i love you  too im sorry with hurt

at 3:30 pm The prenounced her dead

I ran out side droped to my knees

looking up to the sky with such a great plee

Two guys soon came to get her

I tried to go inside to rescue her

They were bringing my mom outside into the car

From that day to this one

the thought in my head is  still why

why did she have to die

Kayla, hi you piece totally touched me, the truth,the sorrow,the overwhelment,something Im going through right now myself about my college friend who has multiple health issues. As a nurse I try to be practical,as a friend I can't handle the idea of her dieing but I know it could happen. I know exactly how you felt, I too lost amom early in teens so I know what that is about.Unless one has been through it they hav not comprehension just empathy or sympathy which doesn't change one iota of how we feel.We can appreciate it but it doesnt change a thing. Yeah ,I can relate......
