She sat there not looking her best and wandering why people thought she did when clearly she really did not think so,her life was really hard at her age and in fact all her life. See she was now twenty nine, although some people knew things about her they didn't know everything because if they did know she knew that her life as she knew it would never be even close to maybe some day getting normal. You see when she was just a child something terrible happened to her and then as she got older lets just say things didn't get easier because the same happened three more times. From then on she battled from depression, you know lets just say things got worse and she knew deep inside she was a mess. Then one day she told someone part of what had happened to her and like she had dreaded that friend had went away and for good. You see this child who had grown into nothing but a sad woman knows that even though most of the time things seem that they will never get better, she knows that deep down inside they just have to there has to be hope and so someday she'll get because you see this woman believes in God who will never disappoint his children. Maybe the times just not right she keeps telling herself but then one day she was talking to her mother and her mom gave her some encouraging words and now just so you know the woman was very smart and of course already knew these words from her dear loving mother but sometimes know matter how smart we seem as people we still have our times of trouble. No matter what this now woman has went through she keeps staying strong with of course the occasional doubts which happens to everyone so it didn't seem like to much of a big deal. Then this one day the woman got some news from the doctors that she was going to die from a rare disease, so she prayed and prayed like how she had always done but this time it was a little different she prayed for everyone she knew that they would all one day get to see her again but this time it would be in heaven. From then on even though she knew death was near, her and her friends and family well i guess i could say the ones that knew her problems all her life done nothing but celebrated her new found happiness with loving herself because you can't count on everyone to love all of you all the time.Then cam the big day everyone was sitting at her house when suddenly she felt very tired and fell asleep but instead of letting her sleep her family and friends who were around check her and sure enough she had peacefully died in her sleep.
