My Family And My Life - 1118 Words

On January 17, 2016, my family and myself travelled about two hours to a small town called Yantis in east Texas. The elders of our family would always get together multiple times a year to catch up and see each other since they were getting to an age where they can’t depend on themselves being here on this Earth. Out of the seven or eight senior members of the family, two or three had already passed by this time. Our Uncle Charles was not looking good either, over the past few months he went from multiple doctor check-ups a week, to being in the hospital, and then ultimately hospice care.

After them, the order was my mom, my dad, and then lastly, me. The meal was terrific, the desert was ev en better, with pie, ice cream, and banana pudding. The aftermath of lunch would take everyone to help clean dishes, utensils, and putting the table cloth in the washer. After lunch and the clean up we all went into the living room to talk for a bit, talk about things that were going on in our lives at that time. Dione talked about how the doctors thought about Charles’s condition and how hospice care was treating him and herself. She said that the doctors said he only has maybe months or weeks at best. My dad was asked by Charles to help around the yard to clean it up for future gatherings. As he went outside, my mom and Dione went into the kitchen to talk about Charles and more private things that they said a fourteen year old boy should not hear. During the time my parents were somewhere else on the property, i had to step out multiple times to blow my nose because of my sickness. Thirty minutes pass and my mom and Aunt Dione come back into the living just as my father com es in as well. All three of them sat down and joined in on the conversing. For the first time since the prayer, we were all together in the living room where we talked for hours.
