My Story

My story is both sad but also rewarding. First, let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Corey and I'm a freshman. I play and love football. I play corner back and full back. My schools little so I play both sides. Next year I have a good chance of playing varsity ball. I have a family of five, My mom, my dad, my little sister, Abby and my little angel sister, Nora, and me. I am the oldest of my siblings.
When I was seven, I lost my baby sister, Nora Elizabeth. She was born and died June 3rd. The cause is still unknown. But that is probably the thing that hurts the most- the not knowing what killed your baby sister. That same day, in the hospital, my mother almost died because her uterus exploded. She lost more than half her blood. That day still haunts me in my sleep.
After that, half my family left me because they could not accept the fact that we were sad over losing Nora. They wanted us to totally forget about her and go on with our lives. But we could not do that. You can't just forget about a person, no matter how old or young they are. You never forget, unless you are truly heartless. That hurt really bad. But we still do not listen to anybody that tells us that. To this day we still celebrate Nora's Angel Day. And we still acknowledge Nora as a part of our family, no matter what people say.
Five years later, my mom had a hysterectomy. I was much older but it was still a frightening experience for me and Abby and Dad. But Mom got through it perfectly. Now we are living life normally( if you could call it that) My mom is fine and very healthy.
Anyways thats my story. Its sad but like I said earlier, it was also rewarding. I wouldn't be who I am today if I wouldn't have gotten through the death of Nora and the consequences of the incident. I may have some rough spots but I think nobody is perfect. So according to that, I think I'm fine.
