I dont remember much from when i was little, but i do remember some random things, like one day when i was in fourth grade! That was a memorable day, i was at my grandmothers house and ever single time i was at her house i went to her neighbors house they had a boy named Cody who was a year older then me. We liked to play in his tree house in the back yard. So me Cody and my little sister were having a great ol’ time, when CRASH! I  pushed on the wrong bored and fell on my face, FROM 6FT, OUCH! i remember it being very spinny when i was tryng to run back to my grandmas, my face was bleeding and i was screaming, the next thing i know my older sister was picking me up off of my grandmas yard, then BAM i was laying on the couch, and everyone was around me telling me not to go to sleep, but i couldnt keep my eyes open! it sucked, but they made me go to the doctors and then it was scary for me! later i found out that i had a broken arm, fat lip, black eye, and chipped tooth! NO FUN! that is a memory ill always remember.

It was the day before Easter, or Easter eve as I called it. I was seven at the time and there were a bunch of people at my mom’s friends’ house having a holiday b-b-q. All of the ‘usual’ people were there, except for my friend’s mom Sherrie, because she had to work. I loved going to their b-b-q’s. They had kids my age that I had grown up with so we all were really close. It was a very happy day, you know like on old movies where everything seems perfect; everyone is laughing, having a great time, with delicious food, a warm wood stove, and not another care in the world…the way holidays are supposed to be.

I was sitting on the couch drinking my hot cocoa when Sherrie pulled up the drive. We were excited to see her, until she walked through the door. She looked like a ghost. She gave her daughter a kiss and then asked all of us to go watch a movie in the bedroom. Her voice sounded so sad. We all could tell, something was terribly wrong.

The five of us kids sat with our ears pressed against the bedroom wall in silence, trying to hear the secret the adults were talking about. The next thing I knew I heard my mother scream. I panicked. It was the worst thing I have ever heard in my life, and I hope I never have to hear anything like it again. I could hear the tears in my mom’s voice. My mind was racing. Why is she so upset? What happened? Is everyone OK? But my thoughts were interrupted by my mom opening the bedroom door.

I can still see the tears in the adult’s eyes. My mom spoke in front of us all. She slowly explained that my four year old cousin Danielle had fallen into a pond earlier that day and drowned. It hit me hard. So hard. I, unlike some of the other kids there, knew what this meant. I understood what “dead” meant. What I didn’t understand was why her? Why Danielle? She was the cutest, sweetest and funniest little girl in the whole world. How could she be gone? This doesn’t happen to me! I only saw terrible things like this on t.v. I was in complete and total shock.

I will spare you the depressing aftermath of that day. April 22^nd2000 is a day I will never forget. My family has not been the same since the accident. It has been hard, but we have picked up the pieces as well as possible.

I wish she wouldn’t have left me, but it was probably better for her. God has a plan everyone. She lived a hard life for only being four years old. My uncle got a divorce from her drug addicted mother and had just been awarded full custody of Danielle and my other cousin Paul before she died. It’s hard to believe she would be 13 now. It feels like it was just yesterday when it happened.

I know that death is just another part of life, but I never want to feel that sad again. I love Danielle Mariah Ray Reed with all of my heart! She will never be forgotten by anyone.

This is very depressing, people are becoming homeless because they are being laid off because there company can afford them it has to be really hard, im actually scared for my family because my mom or dad can be laid off any day, my dad is less likely just because he is an electrition but if it gets bad enough people wont have house which most likely means its because they lost there jobs which means there would be no jobs for my dad to do!

I think it would be nice if it gets so bad that we are just able to stay in our houses for free until everything recovers! I know that would happen but what is there to lose? I would stand up and request that and even protest even, i just think it would be better then letting people die because there starving to death because they dont have jobs so they dont have money to buy food, or people dying because they freeze to death! Have you noticed the weather? ITS INLY GOING TO GET WORSE! we need to help each other, think about our selves and our families, but think about others too, they have families, they have feelings, how would you like to be the less fortunate? There are homeless people out there right now shivering, yes some are out there because there drug habits or some other reasons they easily could have prevented but they are, they may not be homeless because of this Recession problem but give it a little time and soon youll see that it could easily be you! So stop! Think! AND BE CONCITERATE! How would you feel?

All of this can be prevented! Help! Save money!

Thanks,

Rachelle
