Personal Narrative: Mom's Search

As I ran down the stairs frantically searching for my mom and dad there was a loud bang that came from outside. I saw my mom in the kitchen and told her what was happening. She was one step ahead of me. She was already packing food for the trip to grandmas house where we would take refuge for awhile. I called my best friend Skye and told her that her family was welcome to take the trip with us. Then I went upstairs

I had lacrosse practice on the hottest day of summer. The best day was going to jump off a cliff and die. Practice was done and I was hungry for food. I got in my mom’s car and asked my mom to go somewhere and get some food. We went to Taco Bell. I finished and was ready to go home and get a shower. We were going down the road and suddenly my mom got a phone call from my aunt. As soon as my mom started to talk to my aunt she started to cry and break down. She

The parents were fed up with our wild animal like behavior and told us to play downstairs in the basement. We all went down the basement and started to playing tag. Therefore, we had to be careful playing because the basement was not finished at the time and had metal studs where the walls are supposed to go and the concrete floors that are now hardwood. When everybody went upstairs because they were as tired as an olympic runner after a meet my Dad came down to fix a light bulb. He used a ladder to fix it so he could reach and when he was done he went upstairs so I was the only one in the basement. I wanted to be like my Dad so I decided to climb the ladder. I was at the top when my foot slipped off the ladder. Somehow I was able to turn my body around and grab onto a pipe to stop myself from falling. I felt the pipe starting to brake so I decided to swing on to the metal stud next to me because I was sure that was going to hold me. When my

My mom spoke very little to each of us and seemed to be gone longer and longer each day until Saturday, which was moving day. That Saturday I had a band concert for relay for life at my local park. As the performance came to an end my best friend and I hop in the backseat of her mom's sweltering car and crank up the radio. We listen to our favorite throwbacks as her mom speeds down the streets rushing to get me home. As we pull in the drive, an unfamiliar vehicle idles in my driveway. Inside my house lays all of my moms belongings neatly piled up by the door waiting to be taken. My mom greets me at the door and introduces me to her boyfriend. He is much taller than me and talks down to me as if I'm a child. I cut the conversation short and sit on the couch with my dog Casey as they continue moving her things. After the last item is hauled away, my mom looks at me through the glass of the front door and says “I'll pick up Casey later.” and vanishes without another

An hour later, I go looking for her to show her my masterpiece, but I can’t find her. I searched the entire house and looked in every corner of every room. I asked my mom if she left the house, but she told me that she didn’t. I figured the two of them were trying to mess with me and she really did leave the house, so I went to my room and played with my dolls.

Upon arrival at the small town hospital, my mom was rushed to a room in the back. Having been told that she will be out soon, my dad and I sat down in the uncomfortable waiting room chairs patiently waiting for the nurse to come back and tell us that we all

Sarah and Blish were just messing around in the car when suddenly Sarah hit thestick shift and the car started to roll down the hill. Sarah immediately opened the door to jump out while simultaneously holding the door open for my Mom. When both the girls safely had jumped out of the car, they laid on the ground processing what had happened and also what was about to

My dad says to me take the jet ski back to the dock so we can give other people's a try so I said ok. As I headed back to the dock I was going way to fast and panicked when I got closer and closer to the wooden dock. Then it happened CRASH! I hit the dock going 20mph with my family on the back of the jet ski. My mom herd the loud crash and came running down. When came down she saw her three babies floating in the water with a jet ski in 3 pieces. I was a complete mess I was crying and screaming. Finally we climbed out of the water and we all rushed to the car to head to the emergency

We were passing a big pond that didn't look normal… Then all of a sudden I hear my mom screaming followed by my sisters. Next thing I know we're sinking in the pond, stuck in the car. I was lucky enough to get the door open and swim out. I could feel my whole body boiling due to the radiation in the water. I tried to save my sister and my mom, but it was no use… They were gone. I crawled out of the pond and fell into a deep sleep.

I heard my mother get out of her bed and walk down the stairway, the floorboards creaking with each step, to the kitchen to answer the door. As I was making my way down the stairs I remember hearing the sound of a coffee cup shatter as it hit the ground and in that moment I knew who my mother saw at the door.

At the end of the week, it was time to say goodbye once again. I walked down the stairs of our beach carrying my suitcase to load in our car. As I headed back for the stairs, I could see my grandfather sitting in a chair next to his fishing rods. Tears were streaming down his face. My mom explained to me later, he

My mom Amber Peterson was born October 09, 1976, my mom was in a lot of hurricanes when she was younger but none destroyed where she lived, my mom finished all of her schooling but didn’t go to college because she had my sister, my mom comes from a family of eight her second oldest brother passed away a few years ago it was really hard on her because they were close to each other.

On the night of October 31st, 2015 my brother and I rode with my mom to the store. We were what she called her "chicle", we always followed behind her and she literally went nowhere without us. My mom had let us have a Halloween party and as the night went on children started to go home and adults began to arrive. As adults arrived they wanted drinks and as my mom is the host she is to provide them. As we drove to the store everything was going fine, as she begins to turn into the parking lot of the store all the sudden boom, and our night just

My mother then picked me up and set me down in the car. Water was already pooling around her ankles. She ran back into the house and grabbed what seemed to be most of our belongings and when she came back, she started the car and took off. She told me we were heading to a safe place. I remember questioning why our home wasn't safe anymore. Once we got to my mom’s so called “safe place,” I noticed that we weren't the only family with what seemed to be our whole homes in our arms. I even noticed some children from my school.

My mom was busy trying to have a conversation with the cute lifeguard. I went and played volleyball with some kids my age instead. Time went by so fast before I knew it, it was 3 pm. I walked over to my mom to get some rest and relax. She had given up on the lifeguard and was now sitting in a chair close to the ocean, having a conversation with a couple in their mid-forties. This wasn't horrifying to watch, it was just boring. I jumped up and asked her if she wanted to go jump the waves with me. I loved pools, so how different could the ocean be. While we were walking in I saw a red flag go up nearby. I chose to ignore it
