Kyra Lee’s poem Together Yet Apart focuses on what happens to a person when they lose someone important in their life. Kyra Lee uses personification to suggest that the effects on this happening can be negative and positive. Kyra Lee often wrote about the feeling of losing someone, so it’s safe to infer that she was writing about losing someone special to her. I can relate to this considering I lost someone very special this past weekend. My grandfather past of stage 4 brain cancer. It seemed unnatural and extremely uncomfortable especially having to lose him while holding my hand. I couldn’t understand what happened. I never thought that he was actually going to give away right there but god called him that very moment. She begins the poem

That day was the first day ever that my whole family and I sat in silence. No conversations, No cracking jokes or laughter, just silence. It was a day of sadness, but as the strong family we are, we lifted each other up and we accepted it and we made a promise to each other that we would never leave each other's sides. That day made me realize how much our family is united and this day put our strength to the test and we didn't let it break us. It actually brought us even…

    Personal Narrative: My Father Committed Suicide

    When my step father committed suicide, it was the most shocking yet influential experience of my life. The whole situation expanded my understanding of mortality, spirituality, and of just how fragile happiness is. I can still remember the day that it happened; It was unlike any other day. I was in school when brother picked me up after lunch. We met up with my mother, and brother at my grandmother's house. The entire atmosphere was off. No one was acting like themselves. Immediately I knew something was wrong, even if their expressions and body language were not obvious enough. After sitting in the living room for what seemed like an eternity, I went into the next room where I found my mother who was crying, and when I asked what was wrong…

    Took A Sign Poem

    For me, it was the struggle I was going to have to face with the death of my father. Finally, after struggling with whether or not to comply with my father’s last wish I chose to go home against his wish. I arrived with just enough time to help comfort my mom and see my father. Three days after being home my father passed. This was the most difficult situation that my family had to face and we all had to support one another. My faith was tested not just because of the loss of my father, but also the Catholic Church we had my father’s funeral at refused to do last rights. If you don’t’ know anything about Roman Catholics you need all seven sacraments to go enter heaven. My father had all his sacraments, except last rights given to him. The next line, I took this as a sign, God wanted me to sing! (81), interpretation of this line is, we all have to accept the issue at hand so we get past the tragic event so we can heal and be happy. For me it was not so easy, I am ask god, will my father be allowed to go to heaven as approached his coffin at his viewing. I continued to ask the same question over and…

    Emotion and Best Friend

    I never experienced death first-hand, nor has death happened abruptly in our immediate family but I have seen the damage that it leaves on people. Nothing is guaranteed, except that we will all eventually die and it is a scary thought for many people. Somehow, the fact that we unfortunately can’t avoid death makes us all want to avoid it even more. Although, once you find the courage to acknowledge it death will become real, and then all you have to do is deal with the emotions that comes with it. Some people may feel that they can avoid it but you can’t pretend that death has never happened because that person is really gone. I will discuss a few instances where I had to cope with losing some things close to my heart. Although it is a terrible feeling, I can honestly say that I learned a great deal from each circumstance.…

    Personal Narrative: My Mother With Stage Four Lung Cancer

    I still remember the day like it was yesterday, when I got the news about my mom being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. Back then when I was in the seventh grade, there was not really much to know about it but that when someone had cancer they would die. My mom being the closest person to me and her being the only parent that was by my side, thinking that she no longer would be. When this time came there was nothing else for me to do but step into my mother's shoes of becoming the most responsible one in the house. This was the most difficult obstacle that has ever come my way due to the fact that I was only 12 or 13 around the time and I had to take care of a newborn baby while my mom was away getting treatment. She was gone for two…
