My Challenge

It all started when I was at my cousin Ashley’s house. We were having a great time baking food, when all of a sudden she answered the worst phone call ever. She hung up the phone and said, “Your sister called and said she’s moving today.”

When I got home, my sister wanted to talk to me. She hoped our relationship would grow stronger even though she was going to move. I helped her pack. It was hard to help her move things, because when your heart feels deep and heavy so do the things that you’re holding.

After she moved out, it felt like I was starting a new life without her. I decided to look in the past and remember her in my own ways. Then she started to stop by every now and then, telling us stories about the people she’d been living with.

By the time it was October, I realized that no matter what I do or say, I can’t change her mind about moving back in.
