It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were ready to go out for a ride on the motorcycle with my friend Katie and the dog the phone call came, a call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, one.
I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top(无袖紧身背心), and packed my bag with sunscreen and else I would need for the day. I ran into my parents’ room to find Dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I’d never seen my dad cry before. My heart . what possibly could have happened?
“Max, I’m so sorry,” I heard him say. That’s when it me. I knew that Suzie had died. Max has been my dad’s best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was ; she knew that she had problems and was different from other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn’t live a normal life, she was still happy.
When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew . She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten, she had to live in a in Virginia. About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked on the phone at least twice a week the end. In a way, she lived through me. After we found out about her , we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral. When she was alive, I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. I had her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket(棺材).
To be honest, I learned so much from her. She gave me far more than I could ever give to her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never anything for granted, especially my health and the gift of life.
