Saying Goodbye!!
“SAYING GOODBYE”
I've learned that goodbyes will always hurt, pictures never replace having been there, memories, good or bad, will bring tears and words can never replace feelings.
There were many things I wanted to write before writing on the word goodbye, but life takes a man to where fate has decided and it never goes in the neat little order we desire. I never thought that saying goodbye would be so hard. I am 14 but life has taught me one thing that u might forget the place where you were born but u won’t forget the place or people who made you feel so special. I have to accept that for every hello you say, there's a sad goodbye.
I remember it was 18 June 2008 I was jolted into real life. Sometimes being strong means being able to let go, but I wasn’t strong to concede that the time is up and finally I have to say goodbye to the one who made me laugh, who made me realize that I was better than anyone, who made me feel like a princess, who let me sleep in her arms when I was all alone and who spent her nights to tell me stories about prophets. It was 18 June 2008, it seemed to me that everything around me had stood idle, there was silence because my ears were not ready to accept what they just heard, and my mind repeated the words- grandmother has passed away. I went to my home town for her funeral, she was cold because she was dead, I couldn’t believe that she was the same lady I met a month ago. Her lips were silent with no smile, her eyes were closed with no spark, and her heart was in her chest with no beat of life and a body with no soul. I finally had to say goodbye forever because according to the law of nature there is no hope of meeting her again in this world and I’ll never get a chance to tell her how much I loved her. I might meet her in the next world, in the life after death but not until my heart is beating and my soul is within me. I wish that GOD give human one last chance to meet with the one they love and if that was possible I would

    I never thought me, of all people, would experience such a sorrowful day. I have tried to forget it time and time again; but the reality is I will always remember every miniscule detail, moment, word, and facial expression on that particular day. My heart managed to shatter into a million pieces, leaving me without a reason to pursue my existence. My salty tears freely rolled down my warm cheeks, causing my eyes to burn sensationally. I remember mourning on the comforting shoulders of my family members, as they too were consumed by their feelings. The most valuable lesson that beared a reservation in my spirit was to cherish every moment and loved one, for tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. I wish I could have fathom this reality before the climactic tragedy struck me like a ton of bricks. Although death is normal, it seemed almost foreign when it abducted the life of my favorite uncle.…

    3 paragraph summary: The week before Christmas 2009 lead to be my most harrowing experience. Right after getting baptized in a mega church was what I thought to be the last week before the end. The end of walking to coffee houses 6 days a week to make yearbooks for athletes, fights with my parents and all around boredom.

    Today is one of those rare days in which it is raining and I’m sitting on the windowsill waiting for a sign. Something that says ‘move on’. There is still a part of me that hopes every day that you're alive and I haven't found you yet. I will have searched the far corners of the earth before I let myself believe you dead. I dream of you every night, then wake with the bitter taste of regret fresh in my mouth. You abandoned me. You have marooned me on this earth, and it is dark without your light by my side. All that fills my mind is when you were still beside me. I distinctly recall one summer when we were not quite children anymore and still too young to be adults. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooded for the first time in eighty years, and you had insisted on escaping to the desert.…

    Torment, grief, and death are the epiphany of my childhood if you could even call it that. A bath of my mother’s deep red blood engulfs her body as she lays bare floating in the tub with her wrists slit dripping on the floor. My father crouches over her pale body holding her in his arms releasing an ear piercing wail that fill his burdensome eyes with a stream of tears. I crumble in the wake of my mother’s death I felt as if death was gripping my throat straining my breaths making me unable to relieve the heaviness that clutches my chest. I slumped to my knees at the sight of my mother’s stiff body as if the weight of her death dawned on me drawing me closer to the blood stained floor. A combination of emotions arose from me as heat flushed my cheeks with rage, sadness, and bafflement that consumed my every thought after that day. I clenched my fist tightly holding my gut wrenching agony in my hands as I shout “Mommy! Wake up. I promise I will be better if you come back to me.” As a rush of heated tears trickle from my cheeks that sizzles when touching the ground.…

    The impact of saying good-bye and actually leaving did not hit me until the day of my departure. Its strength woke me an hour before my alarm clock would, as for the last time Missy, my golden retriever, greeted me with a big, sloppy lick. I hated it when she did that, but that day I welcomed her with open arms. I petted her with long, slow strokes, and her sad eyes gazed into mine. Her coat felt more silky than usual. Of course, I did not notice any of these qualities until that day, which made me all the more sad about leaving her.…

    My Grandpa, beloved and cherished, has just passed. Balling her eyes out, Mom falls to the floor as if she was stabbed in the stomach, but she hadn’t been stabbed or injured in any way, instead she had to hear the news. I help her up and hold her tight, almost to the point of suffocation. Overwhelmed with emotion, I left her and headed to my room. The house feels different now, it doesn’t look the way it once had. The white walls that are supposed to reflect light, didn’t anymore. I lay in bed and release a sigh of relief, knowing I was safe and away from all the death that filled this house, only, death is inescapable, it follows you. At that moment I see him as I look out my window and witness the first snowfall. “He loved snow.” I thought. The snow gently lands and disintegrates into nothingness on my windowsill.…
