My Experience with Death

When someone asks you about the happiest moment in your life, you recall it without much effort. But when it is time to talk about some experiences that changed your life forever the thing changes, at least in my case.
When I was three, my father died of a heart attack. I do not remember much about him as I was so little. My relatives tell me that he was caring and loving with all children, especially with his. My brother and sister tell me that he used to take us to the square and play with us a lot. I have known him through pictures and some descriptions of him. I would have liked to spend more time with him, but that is the way things were. No regrets!
At the age of eleven, my mum passed away. She had breast cancer. This is one of the most terrible illnesses a person can suffer because it is something that kills you bit by bit. It is hard also for those who are around because you cannot do anything to stop the disease. Moreover, you cannot prevent death from happening. From my mum I have a lot of memories. She was very strict with all three of us. We had to have a nap obligatorely because she got up very early in the morning, so nap was sacred. She worked a lot to so as to be able to take care of us. She had a small pension from my father but that was not enough to survive. Nonetheless, we also spent beautiful moments together, especially on Sundays when we got together with the rest of the family and played, ate spaghettis made at home and many other things. What I liked the most was Christmas time. This night was special because if the family was having problems or some members were apart, they knew that Christmas dinner was the time for unison companionship.
I was terribly sad when she died. But I do not know how I could get over it. I know I´ll see her again. No regrets!
With whom I am still angry is with my dad´s family because when he died they just dissappear from earth. They did not help my mother at all, and they knew she was aolone with three children to look after. But they did not care much I guess. I still some of them from time to time because I go to visit them whenever I can. No regrets!
Anyway, I do not complain about the way life has been to me. I guess those moments made my brothers and I stronger.
