Small changes can make big diferences

Today I’m going to talk about someone that can make me move the world upside down for her. It’s a story about a girl she is 7 years old and she is my cousin. She is really important in my life and the reason why I wanted to write about her is that she is an amazing girl and she is so glad with everything she has and some people including me don’t appreciate what we have.

The beginning of this story was almost 4 years ago. My Godmother was sick she had cancer. She was a single mother she had a 3 years old daughter called Maite, who was my cousin. I can remember the week when she died that Wednesday my mom was with her and no body was at home so my brother and I couldn’t get into the house we were so angry. When my mom arrived we started screaming to her that why did she left us outside the house and we just could think of anything but us. She tried to explain herself that her sister was getting sicker but we didn’t mind. The next day I went to my grandma’s house where my godmother lived too. That day was the most impressive day of my life I remember how awful she looked she was yellowish with lots of tubes around her everything was shocking. It was so hard to se her that way that I couldn’t get closer to her I couldn’t even say hi. That night I had a dream, it was about her she wanted to talk to me and I went with her I remember that she told me to be strong and keep on going, in my dream I told her I loved her that I couldn’t way more time I didn’t wanted to loose her without her knowing them. That same Friday she passed away I did went to her house to tell her what I needed to what I knew I could say after my dream, but she wasn’t there anymore.  

That is when an adventure began it was really hard that day. How can you explain a 3 years old girl that she didn’t had her mom that she wasn’t coming back ever. It was so hard just to imagine that and some people have both of her parents and treat them like garbage. I know that she will do anything to have a mother. Maybe she never meets her father and maybe she will never do but she will still have an empty spot in her heart for one. What was more impressive is that she started to go to a church group how easily was for her not getting mad for her lost. I couldn’t be in her shoes I wouldn’t be like that I would have a fight with god for a lot of time. I love this girl like if she was my little sister and since I don’t have one she really is the sister I didn’t had. And for her I might be her older sister. We love playing together, we go to the movies, we listen to music, and we look at some T.V. shows. We can do all kinds of different things together and maybe I don’t have time in some occasions or she is at her ballet, or at someone’s house but I know we have this love feeling one for each other.

Why is she so important for me? First of all I feel like I can teach her how to live and depending on others how she will be when she is an older person. I want to make a change in her life; I want to know how it feels to put a little bit of you for others growth. Some time she confuses her authority or she isn’t sure of what she really wants because people contribute in her but she is an awesome girl. I wish I could have the same grades she has, the same abilities, being that strong. It is hard her life but she made her way out of every difficult situation and she did the same with me.

Some time ago I wasn’t sure what I believed. I was kind of lost in my faith. By watching her going to the church I decided to learn more some time after that I went to confirmation. That really marked my life I can believe in God without seeing, without touching, I believe because of her. Maybe it sounds drastic how can a little girl show us some things but I can say that my little and lovely cousin did changed my life and I love her and I with her my best. That is how a girl whose 10 years younger than me teached me a lesson and she was a good teacher because I learned it.
