Losing a Best Friend I pull up and rush inside. Would this be the last time I see my best friend of 10 years? The room is cold, plain, and white from the floor to the ceilings. A tall and slender man in scrubs walks in and says that he would be brought into the room to see us in just a few minutes. The man also explains how he would be dazed, due to the anesthesia from the surgery he had just undergone. The surgery revealed that my best friend named Jack had cancer, and that he was too old to undergo

Now- Hani cried into him. This was not to be a love story, or one with a happy ending at all was it? There was never to be a finality. This would never end. Never. Hani would live forever, just as Lee should have, but he had given his life to her… his very soul. He would die here in her arms, and she would be alone. No hope. No love. Six months ago- Hani sighed. “It’s funny… how I became a vet in hopes to save lives.” He just looked at her curiously. “you saved mine that night.” He reminded her

It always happens, no matter what, I just didn’t think that it would happen today.  Standing here, in this white space with its white walls and white floors, waiting.  Two months ago it all started to fall apart.  I remember how it began.   “Mom!” I shrieked from the living room. “Yes, Jacob?” She replied from somewhere in the house. “Come here quick!  Something is wrong with Gibson…” Gibson had backed himself into a corner and started shaking uncontrollably

My grandma lived up here because she worked up here at Saint Luke's Hospital. About every two weeks she went to the farm, and so did Tucker. My great grandpa, my grandma's dad, used to own the farm, but he passed away. He was a World War 2 veteran, one that flew bomber planes. Fortunately, he passed the farm on to my grandma, and now we all have it. When I was just a little boy, so was Tucker. It seemed as if everytime someone said I grew, Tucker grew with me. As he got older, he started

“Hey dad can I ride my bike to Audra’s a house to see if hangout today?”, I asked my dad. “Sure you can and by the way there 's only a few more days left of summer before school starts, but if you 're riding your bike you need to wear a helmet.”, my dad replied. “Ok dad thank you and I promise i 'll wear my helmet.”, I told my dad as I walked out of my parents room and running down the stairs.

I had always taken life as a joke or not that serious until this tragic event affected my whole life. It was just a routine day during summer break and life seemed pretty good until I received a phone call from my mom to come home as soon as possible. I then thought that maybe they had a surprise for me because it was close to my birthday. Once I got home I darted up into my parents’ room, and I then saw my dog laying on the bed, she looked like she had just threw up or something. They then told

When most people think about dogs, they say that they are man's best friend. Although this is true, they are much more than that. They are your family. They are the only animal in the world who does not care if you are not perfect, and will love you not matter what you do. This is what dogs truly are. When you realize this is true about all dogs, it makes it even harder to let them go. We just came home from vacation at Gatlinburg. Even though we had so much fun at Gatlinburg, we could

A Sad Day When I was around 2 my parents decided to get a dog because they lived in a apartment complex that got broken into often. They found a dog in the paper that got abused by it’s old owner and was looking for a better home.
