On April 9, 2012 something happened I never thought would happen. It was the day after easter and we got a call saying my Aunt Jessica had gotten in a bad car accident.

They said they tried to do everything that they possibly could to keep her alive. There was no possible way that they could keep her alive but if she did she would be paralyzed and in a wheelchair for the rest of her life and we knew that’s not the way she would want to live. She would rather be dead than alive so it was probably a good thing she didn’t make it, I mean I hate to say that but it’s the …show more content…

I would always say stuff like If you bring her back I will never do this or that again. I would plead for god to give her back, but it doesn't work like that at all. I still do that if I get in trouble I will beg to get her back but I guess it doesn't work like that. After the first year I finally started to accept that she was really gone. Yeah a year is a long time but it took that long. I needed the time to think and it is how long you need to recover not how long people want you to
