Personal Narrative: My Sister's Husband
After finding out my sister’s husband died I have been thinking about it should be broken to her. I figured it would be best if the news came from me with the presents of her husband’s best friend Richards. I would have to break the news very gently do to her heart troubles. We would not want her to die of grief.
It was time to tell her, and she broke down in tears right on my arms when I told her. I felt so horrible for her, and couldn’t believe the pain she must be going through. She stormed away crying. She must have loved her husband so much.
Richards and I were wondering how we were going to spend the day. We really did not want my sister to be by herself, and have nobody to comfort her. Especially when someone has lost somebody dear

    It was a long hot summer day as me and my cousins sat around the tank at our ranch as we thought of something to do after the morning dove hunt was over. I was 10, my cousin Lane was twelve, and the rest of my cousins ages ranged all the way from seven to thirteen. We were all drained from the sun, with our young age we couldn't sit in the sun and possibly have an energy. Lane is the oldest as he lead the pack with such a great lead he was disappearing over the distant hills. Austin was so young we were having to carry his gun and shells. Anson was the second youngest, and Austins brother, they were almost in the same condition but with Ansons older age he was able to carry his own weight. Ryan was dragging behind with his heavier set body…

    Whilst working a shift in a residential home, I became acquainted with an elderly lady in her eighties. She had been a widow for many years and had no children. She was a very quiet, private person, who didn’t like showing her feelings, being made a fuss off or being hugged. She had lived in the home for about five years. The only visitor that Mrs B had was an elderly man, a friend of her husband. He would come and visit every Monday and have afternoon tea with her. They would reminisce and Mrs B looked forward to his visits. One Monday the elderly gentleman did not arrive and Mrs B thought it was unusual. The following day we had a message that the elderly man had been found dead at home. I was asked to tell Mrs B.…

    I first heard the horrific news in the middle of summer. That day, my dad was driving me over to my mom’s house, and I knew something was wrong when he told me with a deliberate expression, “Your mom was coming home early from her work trip this week due to a family emergency.” As a result, I became very concerned to hear what has happened. Once we arrived at my mom’s house I quickly noticed tears in her eyes. She sat my sisters and I down on the couch, and told us sorrowfully, “Your Uncle Mike passed away this morning. He woke up today, and couldn’t breathe, so Aunt Sue took him to the emergency room, and they couldn’t keep him alive.”…

    Suddenly, I woke to the sound of pain and stress. In the dimmed hotel room, my mother was laid roughly on the bed motioning that she didn’t feel well. We had traveled the far and exciting journey to Las Vegas to witness my mom finish a half marathon. It was an event that she had spent minutes, hours, days, and months training for. I couldn’t believe that after all of the work my mom had done in the past year, she wouldn’t be able to compete on the big day. I was wrong though when my mom sat up, tidied her tangled hair and nonchalantly said, “let’s do this”.…

    “I’ll never become rich doing this, but it’s what I love,” she said. She refers to a woman who essentially changed my life, Corinna Sowers-Adler. A mentor, a teacher, a director, and a friend who I’ve only come to know for a little less than a year now. This refers to the wonderful world I hope to be immersed in for the rest of my life, theatre. Corinna and I were conversing on our way to Starbucks with the rest of my new theatre family, Gaslamp Academy of Performing Arts, a program I had just enrolled in for the summer. I replied with an answer I now have a better understanding for, “Well… you’re rich in so many different ways.” My family has never been rich in terms of money, we’re pretty far from it. But we’ve always been rich in things…

    I didn’t want the day to end. I dreaded going back to my dad’s house and going through the cycle all over again. The shift from a familiar environment, then being removed from it became frustrating and tiring. As a child, I had this perfect image of having two parents who show compassion but not in my situation. I got lost going back and forth, I started to lose myself, leaving a piece of my identity behind every time I left one of my parent’s houses. As the years went by, I didn’t really know who I was, I lost myself along the way and didn’t know how to get back to the person I was before. This happy person from many years ago was slowly drifting away from the difficult situations I encountered along the way. As I was losing the pieces of myself, my brother was the little boy who put the puzzle back together.…
