Tristan Smithee- Most Important Day

As humans, we all have one special day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. I have many important days in my 16 years of life. One would be the day I got my first dog, the first day of kindergarten, when I got my first horse. But important days do not always have to be happy. My most important day was not exactly the day I was the happiest, in fact it was the day I was saddest, the day my mom passed away. That day would end up being the day my whole world changed. I’m not sure for the better or for the worst quiet yet. 

I know it is strange for the most important day of my life being a sad day, right? Anyway, it will forever be one of the most sad, but important days. September 20, 2017, was the day my life turned completely sideways. As I woke up around seven o’clock that morning I was not expecting to get the news I did. My grandmother, aunt, and uncle were all standing at my bed and was crying. I knew my mom was in the hospital, and was very sick. I automatically assumed the worse, my assumption was correct. I cried all the way to the hospital and was surrounded by the people I loved once again. But I would not be the same. As the week went on we had the funeral and it was one of the hardest things I will ever have to do. The second most important day would have to be September 25th. The day we buried her. I would not be where I am without the support of my friend and the rest of my family. That day was the worst day I have been through in my sixteen years on earth. I however, no longer worry about her, as I know she is watching and now pain free. 

This was the most important day in my life. I loved my mom so much. I guess every kid does? I will forever remember this day and try to remember it is the day my mom went to be pain free, in a beautiful place. I know she is still with me and watching. Even when I am all alone.
