Tough Times

A tough time is something that all of us has or will experience. It doesn't feel good during tough times. It seems like everything is not the way you want it during the tough times. Nobody likes to have to go through a tough time. A tough time can be somebody dying, a bad test, a fight, being sick, or being grounded. I have experienced some difficult times, but I got over them after a while. One of my experiences was my great aunt dying of cancer. She was a special person to me. I used to go to her house all the time and I loved her cooking. We almost never had any arguments and she really cared for me, even when I was being bad. When she died I didn't believe God. Why would this God take someone like that away from me? I hated it. For a while I didn't want to talk about God, I didn't like him. I thought it was his entire fault my great aunt died. As I grew older I understood why she had to die. Instead of suffering through all the pain, she could be in a place of no pain. I used to only think of the bad parts of death, but I later realized there is also a happy side. I think most people think there is no good in death and it is a time to be sad and cry. Life is about how you lived, not how you died. If she was still alive she wouldn't want to see me be sad and mad all the time. From this tough experience I learned that once I can get over an obstacle I will be a much stronger person. You should always live life to the fullest because you never know what will happen tomorrow. Some people get into stupid arguments with a person, but when the person is not around anymore, they really regret doing that kind of thing. Although it may seem like the person you are having a fight with doesn't care for you, the person actually does. I rarely

argue with my parents because I know that I am really lucky to have them. Without them I probably wouldn't be able to survive. Losing a loved one is one of the worst times to express your feelings.
