Day One

Day one:
Tuesday, June 19th

I got a call this morning from my cousin, my uncle Doug passed away in his sleep. My grandpa is in the hospital and I am going to go visit him... I have to tell him that his twin brother Doug passed away. He took it fairly well. When it was time for me to go to practice, I need some extra time to think so I walked. On my way, I got a text from my boyfriend... he says he needs a break from things. I finally get through practice and get home. I get another call. My grandpa is in the emergency room, his kidneys failed, he has internal bleeding, his blood pressure is very low, and he is unresponsive. I talk to the doctors and they say there is nothing they can do for him and they don't see him coming out of this. They say all they can do is make him as comfortable as possible. They moved him back to his hospital room for the night and I stayed there with him holding his hand. It was 3:30 in the morning before I could get myself to leave. I drove myself home. I was tired and over whelmed and didn't sleep.

I feel like giving up on everything... its all meaningless if you have nothing to look forward too.

I think the story line is good but I think it needs to be organized better with an addition of more detail. Its sorta choppy like it goes boom boom boom, for instance when u say you need to tell him his twin passes away and then the next sentence is how took it well. are you writing a book?

It's her journal. She actually went through this.

[Be_You_Tifful]

o ok well it said chapter that is why I was a little confused

[Peaceworker22]

It's okay, it's just a chapter in her life that she had gone through.

It's spelled 'overwhelmed', but damn, you have been through a lot.

Really good! Love some of the phrases you've used. First two sentences didn't read easily in my mind because of the tenses, but that might just be me...

thanks!

I liked how you added your diary. Writing down your thoughts and emotions from the day gives this book a new world. I felt your pain and I wanted to comfort you when things didn't go the way they should've. Life is full of struggles and the only thing we can do is hope that tomorrow will be better.
My favorite line in this is the last. 'I feel like giving up on everything..its all meaningless if you have nothing to look forward to.' I feel that way in my life. I am sure most people do.
You are a brave person for posting this!

thank you!

"it's all meaningless if you have nothing to look forward too." That line alone gave me chills. Sometimes that's how things feel...for all of us. I love the title of this book by the way. It speaks to a lot of hardships people have to go through. Many like the ones in this passage. But for all of them to happen in one day? To call it overwhelming is an understatement. Sometimes, it's hard to hear people say, "Life Goes On" But it does..it always does...
