Most Important Day By Hailey Carr

The most important day in my life was the day that my uncle adopted a child. It was February 7th of 2015. It started out as a normal day for me. I was at the most hated place in the world, school, and I stayed till four, because of basketball practice. My mom came and picked me up and we went home. I took a shower and got ready to go to town. We went to Dillard's and bought all kinds of newborn clothes. They were the most precious clothes that I had ever seen. The clothes were tiny and beautiful, some had flowers and some had polka-dots. At this point, I thought that we were buying the clothes for my mother's pregnant friend, but later I would find out we were buying them for my uncle's child. After we bought the clothes, we went and ate. Then we went home and I was super confused as to why my whole entire family was at my uncle's house. We took the clothes down there and when I walked in, the truth had finally come to me. My uncle and his wife finally got pregnant, after trying for over 10 years. However, then my uncle came out of his bedroom with the most precious  baby girl that you could ever see. She had beautiful chocolate eyes that could melt anyone's heart. It melted mine and I loved her as soon as I seen her. We stared at each other for what seemed like for ever. She would just look at me and start to smile. I knew that we were going to be those cousins that everyone wanted to be. Sometimes, I think about what my life would be without god blessing my family with her. I wonder if it would be dreadful or just as fun, but then I remember how much this has changed me. I thank god every day for blessing my family with this amazing miracle. I am forever thankful for that day and for god for choosing my uncle to be Ava's father. Without Ava, I wouldn't have an important day in my life.
