LOVE AND LOST

Have you ever wondered what it's like to trust someone with your heart and they end up breaking it or even worse shattered.

That's what i thought until i lost everything in a horrible accident.

"One year ago."

My name Kathy Harris, I'm twenty-one years old and i live here right in the center of Brooklyn, New York.

I'm not actually from here i grew up in South Dakota it was just me and my mom, few months ago my dad and brother died in a car accident it was very hard for me and my mom.

The funeral was especially difficult for us, I couldn't stop crying for days knowing my brother's room was right next to mine my heart ached every time i walked past it, and seeing the tears in my mom's eyes hurt even more.

We both cried until there were no more tears left in our eyes and that's exactly what we did, we cried and cried and cried some more until we stopped.

It was time for a change to stop thinking about the pain because that's not what they wanted for us, we had to look forward to the future even if it means leaving them behind.

And that's what we did we moved on from the pain and focused on what we both wanted and that was for us to finally find some peace and be happy and that's what we did.

Few months ago i decided to leave home to find that peace and happiness that me and mom were talking about i still keep in touch with her to make sure she was doing alright and she was.

So this is how i ended up in Brooklyn, New York far away from home and away from my home.

"Sigh."

Man what a view. I thought to myself

Who would've known that New York would've been this bright and loud and i couldn't be more excited to start my new adventure here in new york.

A few days ago i broke the news to my mom that i was staying in new york for a while, at first she wasn't okay with it but she came around to the idea she realized that i wasn't a kid anymore, she saw me as an adult now and i could start making decisions on my own.

I can't wait to start my new adventure and who knows maybe i will find the peace I've been looking for ever since my brother and dad died.

I never knew what pain was like until that faithful day, but being here in new york trying to figure out what's next for me, But one thing is for sure is that i will always carry the spirit of my dad and brother and even my mother wherever i go, Because that's what you do for the ones you love.

Weather they are here or not you always carry the love, bond, and spirit of the ones who means the most to you forever and always.

I sat here in the middle of new york i wipe the tears from my eyes and cheek and i head off into my new life in new york.

Even if life suddenly stops for the ones you love the most you gotta keep your head and keep moving forward, My dad taught me that.

"THE END."
