Showing sad stories for tag "family"

10 years of bitterness

Vanessa

Hi I'm Vanessa from the Philippines. My lola (grandmother) died the afternoon of May 23rd, 2011. It's been 40 days since she left us. Just like any other Filipino Catholic family, we celebrated her 40th day. My sisters and I and some of our very close relatives went to a restaurant and had dinner. It made me think of my lola's death again. This thought had been haunting me since she died.. 'Why am I not that sad?' I should be sad because she is after all my grandmother. She helped my mom raise me.. but why am I feeling this way? Of course I do miss her. I cried at her funeral but I'm not sure why I was crying. I know it's disrespectful to speak ill of the dead but I just need to voice this one out. I just need to say this, just this one time... [Read More]

The End

Alicia

22 Jul, 2011 12:21 AM

It was a random Sunday afternoon, as usual I had just waken up just like I do every weekend (mainly because on the weekends I have no school). My mom and I were sitting downstairs on the two separate couches we had down there, my mom on the sofa and me on the loveseat, watching TV. A commercial had came on when my mother got a call from the person from court saying that my father hadn't shown up for his court hearing thingy. She must have thought this call was a conversation a 13 year-old shouldn't be hearing, so , as usual, she slipped through the sliding, glass, back door peering through the glass at me as she continued to chat away on the phone. I could faintly hear the conversation when the parts of the show were real quiet, though they were only tidbits I heard. She came... [Read More]

It makes me nervous when...

Regan

Everyone is usually nervous at one point. Whether its peeing in your pants, throwing up in front of everyone, reading your paper out to the class, giving a speech in front of your whole school, or more. There was a girl named Alex Veresto hwo was nervous all the time. Even when people just asked her a question, she would freak out as if someone told her a scary story. She only had one friend, her mom. Her father was a soldier at war, and died by severe head bleeding. Her father was the only one that she felt kept her safe. Ever since then, Alex has been crying herself to sleep, and not feeling protected. Alex always felt like her dad would help dad would help her in everything. Well once again, Alex woke up this morning as tired as you'd be on a road trip to Florida. She... [Read More]

Jordyn

Jordyn's daddy

15 Jul, 2011 11:10 AM

About 9 years ago, I had my son, Jordyn. Proud father at 18. No job, no education, no mother. Nothing. She left a year after he was born. I saved up for 5 years so I could put myself through school and get a worth while job. One my son could be proud of. One my son could say to his friends and they wouldn't look at him like he had a third eye or something. I went to medical school and rode around in ambulances. Responding to car wrecks and such. Seeing some pretty sick stuff. My son couldn't say "My daddy's a doctor" but he could say "My daddy saves lives". He called me superdad and said I was the best hero in the world. He'd make up stories about how I could fly and saved people from falling rocks and other silly things like a child would.... [Read More]

Unopened Letters

Hannah Ellis

08 Apr, 2011 07:11 PM

Hello Grandma, As I write this letter to you I cannot help but be filled with pain. I have to ask as I always do... How are you doing? I'm doing fine. Whenever I sit down to write you a letter to you I try to smile. This could be like the old days. I could tell you about soccer... But that's about me. You already know everything about me. So you don't need to know about my grades, friends, or anything else. Even if I don't tell you in this letter you know. I can feel it. Today I looked out my window to see the pair of cardinals that nest here every year. My thoughts immediately returned to you. Again. Cardinals were your favorite bird. I painted one in art but I have yet to find a chance to bring it to you and Grandpa. We might be... [Read More]

No biggie (kinda long)

Madeline

01 Jan, 2011 10:11 PM

Once upon a time a man and a woman fell in love, got married, and had a kid. When she was three they divorced. This wasn't a big deal for her because it meant no more fighting and she still got to see them both. Time passed and the girl's dad remarried. A couple of years later they had a little girl with Down Syndrome. This wasn't a big deal because she wasn't a very serious case. Then her mom remarried and they had a little boy who was an absolute terror and was often left for the girl to take care of because her mom worked late and her step father was always away or being a terrible couch potato father. This too was okay. They moved away from her childhood home and switched schools leaving close friends she had had for six years. It was alright, she made... [Read More]

My Father

Matthew Guevara

16 Oct, 2010 12:11 AM

was recently asked a sentimental question for a class assignment. My teacher asked ?If you could travel to anytime in your life, when/where would it be. And why?? After about a day?s work of pondering that question, I have finally come up with an answer. If I could travel to anytime it would have to be September 11th 2001. My name is Matthew Guevara and I would like to tell you the story behind my answer to this question. When I was ten years old my life seemed simple, it was fantastic. I had a mother who loved me, a father who was always there for me, an older brother who taught me the meaning of brotherly love, and a little sister on the way. It started on September 5th 2001. The day was a warm day down in Texas and my dad made plans for the whole family to... [Read More]

My brother ..

Smargerum

02 Sep, 2010 09:23 PM

Me and my brother are very close. He is 2 years older than me and on the football team. I would always tell him that he was my favorite person in the world and nothing would change that. Even though we always fight, we still love each other. But one day something bad happens to the both of us.. It was the last football game of the year. We were on our way to a party that was at his friends house and he promised me that he would let me do whatever i could and i did.. But i think i did a little to much. I remember that night so clear. We were on our way home when this truck came out of nowhere and it hit right into his truck. The truck started to flip like crazy and it wouldn't stop. When it finely stopped i asked... [Read More]

Seems Like Yesterday When I Last Talked to You

Jane Sherwood

My stepfather suggested I post this story here so maybe that I can feel better telling someone about the tragedy that happened years ago of losing my most precious best friend.. my sister. My mother gave birth to my sister on her first marriage, after her husband died of lung cancer due to heavy smoking she married again and had me, then my parents divorced when I was about 3 because my father cheated on her and made another lady pregnant...Then she married again, thankfully this time she married the right man. We were so happy as a family, we had our first family camp, picnic, and field trip, I wore matching clothing and shoes with my sister and we did everything together, but happiness never lasts long. My mother had a car accident when I was 5, our family broke apart again. My sister went to study in France... [Read More]
