Cheer Practice Narrative

One day, I was at my regular cheer practice, but this practice in particular was very difficult to get through. I was already having an off day, and I was so ready to go home I could barely stand it. As we were doing our final stunts, my mom came in to watch us. She looked really upset, and you could definitely tell she had been crying. I was really worried because she doesn’t really cry much. After practice, she looks at me and says, “Your uncle has leukemia.” I was in utter shock. I couldn’t even believe it, and it took a while to really settle in my mind that it was true. I started praying and praying that he would be okay and be healthy again.
So my uncle, Michael, had a lot of treatments and a few hard months passed by, and it was eventually summer and time for our family to go to Belize on mission trip. My mom would constantly check up on him through the updates his wife always posted on Facebook, and it was steadily getting better. He was responding well to treatments, and everybody was really helping him get through it. He would go through a test while we were gone to see if his cancer was 100% gone like we hoped it would be. When we left for Belize, we were worried because we didn’t know if we could check up on him as often and hear about the test results.
One night after dinner about halfway through our mission trip, my mom came up to me with tears in her eyes. When I asked her what happened, she said with a shaky voice, “He’s cured, Erin. There’s no more cancer!” It took me a minute to really take in this great news that was definitely beyond words. I was elated that his struggle was put to an end, and he could live a healthy life that we dreamed he could obtain again. It seemed like everything we prayed would happen in his life was answered in a great miracle that only God could have performed, and we are forever
