Freewrite diary entry (Jayde)

Freewrite "Death of a loved one":1

I dont remember much of my parents. Only vague memories of my mother rocking me in her arms and telling me to close my eyes and everything will be okay. I remember my dad and I watching horror movies together every Saturday night at 7:30, we both loved those movies with creatures that took over the earth whether it was aliens or a lockness monster from beneath the ground. Twisters and aligators, tornadoes and sea serpents...we shared it all. My life was so calm back then, I was young and so eager to grow up but now I wish I could turn back time and start my life over again, now I wish they were still here. 2

Out of all the other memories of my life that have faded with time, the day my parents died never fails to remind me. I thought I'd never live again, never feel whole again. It was like I lost my best friends, like I lost myself. No more Saturday night horror movies, no more hugs no more love. And as my 16th birthday comes closer and closer I realize I am growing older again, and I wish they were here to share my life with me.
