Today, 4 years ago, was a Wednesday.
Today, 4 years ago, was a bright and sunny day.
Today, 4 years ago, that sun woke me up to the day that would forever change my life.

Jenny's orchestra concert. Mommy went and watched.
Teusday, December 5th, 2006.
My 4th grade All-Star concert. Mommy wasn't feeling good and stayed home.
I went home and we sat down to watch our traditional X-File.
Afterwards, Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me sleep with them in their bed.
'But I don't wanna sleep in my own bed!' Is the last thing I said to my Mommy that night.
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006.
I wake up on the bottom bunk of my sister's and I bed. I sat up and saw it was way too bright to be morning. I got up and quietly tip-toed to my parent's bedroom. The bookcase at the top of the stairs was moved to block the hallway to the bathroom. My parent's bedroom door was open. I walked in to see that Mommy's covers were turned up. I look at Mommy's alarm clock to see I was super late for school. I quietly step down the stairs and peek over the side of the wall. I see my Grandpa walk out of the bathroom. I see my Grandma walk across the kitchen. I run back upstairs as quietly as possible and wake up Jenny. I tell her to get up because something is wrong. I see her climb down the ladder and start to get dressed when I leave to go downstairs and let my presence be known. My Grandparents are now seated on the loveseat. I sit down next to my Grandma and ask where my Dad is. She says he's outside on the phone. I ask where my Mom is. She says she is sick. I start to go back upstairs but see Jenny coming down. We sit down on the right side of the couch and Dad comes in and sits down next to us. He breaks the news. We cry until our tear ducts are dry. I excuse myself to call my best friend. I already know she at school and I have to leave a message. He gives us the information about the viewing and the funeral. I go back to bed and hope this was all just a dream.
I love you Mommy. I know I'll see you again. I can't wait until then. (:
