MY LIFE

I think every piece of writing is better when you have dedication. I’m going to dedicate this writing to my brother, Spence. He has shown me that even when life is breaking you down to get back up again because tomorrow is always another day.

2011

On June 20,2011, I was born at 12:01 am. I may not be old enough to remember when I was born, but I know that when I took my first breath I was the happiest baby ever! Yes, the day I was born was amazing! That day had to end and I didn’t want to go to bed…but I was so tired! I was finally able to close my eyes and the next thing I knew I was 2 days old.

2012

Now I’m 1 year old and life is pretty good. I have a  perfect family, a loving Father, and a loving Mother. At the time I had 2 dogs named Sophie and Zeke. My parents had them before I was born and they were the nicest dogs ever. If anyone tried to get near me,  Sophie would bark at them but not bite. Like I said before, I’m 1 and I love life. I may not be able to talk yet, but I know life’s great, and being 1 is also great.

2013

Now I’m 2 and life is even better. Now that I’m older I get to do way more things than I could when I was 0 and 1. Sophie and Zeke are getting older but they are still the best dogs ever and Mom and Dad are the best parents any 2 year old could wish for. And I want to be just like them. They are so smart and they always look right into my eyes and say “I love you.” And like I said before, I love my mom and dad and when I’m older I’m going to be just like them.  So being 2 is fun but it won’t last forever.  As you know, next year I will turn 3 so I plan to have as much fun as possible while I’m 2!

2014

Now I’m 3 and this year my new brother Spence was born! It was probably the best year of my life. Spence was born on May 12th, 2014. When I met Spence, I realized that my life was going to change forever after that day. So like I said before, I’m 3 and my brother Spence was just born. I love him more than ever. Spence is the sweetest most loving and most fun baby ever! When I was walking out of the hospital I was proud to say ‘I am Spence’s sister and I always will be his sister even if i’m not here I will always be there to support him and to love him.

2015

I’m 4 and I’m so excited because next year I’m going to be in Kindergarten. My brother Spence also turned 1 this year and he is the cutest 1 year old ever at this time I got to see a lot of babies but none of them are as cute as my brother Spence. Sometime this year I’m going to kindergarten and I’m so scared I could scream like how do I know that this is the right school for me, how do I know I will make friends, and how do I know I will be smart and funny like Spence? And Spence won’t come to school with me to make me feel better when I’m sad, so yeah I think I’m scared.

2016

NOW I’M 5 AND I’M GOING TO KINDERGARTEN!!!!  I’M EXCITED…MY MOM IS EXCITED…MY DAD IS EXCITED…EVERYONE IS EXCITED JUST FOR ME!!! My first day at school was the best I met so many friends. I will never forget my first day at school.

2017

This year was the saddest of them all.  Remember Sophie? This year she died. I woke up and realized my mom had been crying and then she said that in a minute she will have to take Sophie to get put down and right then I looked at Sophie and gave her a big hug and started crying. The worst thing was that same year I got a new dog at first I thought we were trying to replace Sophie but then I realized we were just trying to give her a home so that year wasn’t the best year ever but at least we got a new dog and we still had Zeke. You may think this year was the worst,  and it was but the whole thing wasn’t that bad because we got a new dog. We named her Carolina because she lived in different animal shelters all over the Carolinas before finding her fur-ever home with us! My mom says Carolina is so much like Sophie and reminds her of the movie, “A Dog’s Purpose.”

2018

This year was so fun because this year for Christmas I got my very own puppy. We named him Sampson. Now we had 3 dogs Zeke, Sampson, and Carolina.  Now I’m proud to say that we are a family of 7. Now that we have 3 dogs life is hard because there is so much stuff to remember about their food, their medication, and many more. So this year has been amazing but we still think so much about Sophie because she was a big part of the family. I mean we loved her and she loved us but we don’t get too sad because I know she is in a better place and she will no longer be in pain so I’m happy because I know she is in a better place.

2019

I’m so sad this year because I already lost Sophie and this year I lost Zeke. So I was just at school and then when I came home my mom made me sit down at the table.  I knew Zeke was old, so when she started talking about Zeke I thought he was getting put down tomorrow so I asked her if I could come then she said he already died. I started crying and ran to my room I was so upset I wanted to be with Zeke and Sophie. This year may have been sad but it wasn’t all sad because this year we moved all the way to a different state! I’m in a new school, with new friends, and have great neighbors! I’m loving it so far.

2020

This year was honestly not the best. COVID-19 shut down the whole world, including schools, hanging out with friends, stores, and way more! However, living in a neighborhood with caring and supportive friends truly helps. Good news, I got 3 new dogs!! They all have the goofiest personalities and they are just the sweetest things. We named one Blue after his adorable colored fur. The second one was named Roman the Rona Conqueror because we got him almost exactly when COVID-19 was flooding everyone’s TVs. Finally, Oscar, my mom likes to call him the devil because of his stubborn and headstrong personality. A Great Dane growing taller by the second, a Mastiff, and a Yorkie Shih Tzu mix that looks like a butterfly compared to Roman and Blue.

2021

COVID-19 is still around however we have started having more access to schools, stores, etc. as long as you wear a mask. While the mask is uncomfortable it is better than not being able to go anywhere. I can not write about 2021 without telling you about my grandma. She and Jack are amazing people that deserve the world and they both give that to each other. This year was the big year when they got married. Being able to see your grandparents on their wedding day is truly an amazing experience most people don’t get to celebrate. I know they will treat each other with unconditional love and enjoy every moment they spend with each other.

2022

To start off this amazing year, our parents surprised us on Christmas with a trip to Disney World which happened a week later. Our family had an amazing time however half way through our trip Dad got Covid. While he didn’t have as much fun as we wished he suffered so our family could have fun and that is what every father should do. I also graduated elementary school and moved on to middle school. Most of my friends went to another school however I made so many I am so grateful for.
