My Family Tragedy!

By Keanna | Subscribe: http://bit.ly/sub2storybooth It was just a regular night. Keanna was in the kitchen, cooking her little sister something to eat, when she heard the doorbell ring. To her surprise, it was the police. The officer asked for Keanna’s mom and dad, so she went to get her parents. The police officer stressed the importance of Keanna and her sister going upstairs, but Keanna and her sister were being nosey and listened to the entire conversation. As they listened from the bathroom, Keanna and her sister overheard their mom getting the worst news of her life. The police officer told them that their brother had been killed in his apartment. It was one of the hardest moments of Keanna’s life. She heard her parents screaming and comforted her sister and she started crying hysterically. Her mom pulled herself together and told her and her sister to go upstairs and pray. They prayed all night long. Over the next few days, Keanna and her family had to make arrangements for her brother’s funeral. She was so thankful that she had her family as a support system, and she doesn’t know how she would have been able to get through any of it without them. Later that week, Keanna started to imagine having to see her brother in the casket. She didn’t think she was going to have to see her brother like that for so many years – not at the tender age of 22 years old. The entire experience was emotional and really hard to get through, but she was so happy she had her family by her side. Time has gone by and Keanna still has days that she’s sad – whether she’s at school, with friends or just hanging at home, she has difficult days. Her mom cries every single day, and her dad keeps his feelings to himself. Her sister always brings up her brother and memories they shared. Keanna’s advice is to always treasure the moments you have with the people you love because you never know when they might pass away.
