The beginning
Once upon a time there was a 4 year old girl named gabby. Gabby had been moving around the globe ever since she was 6 months old. She hated it. One night when gabby's dad was braiding her hair the phone rang. Gabby's mother lived in the USA with her roommate. While Gabby and her brothers and sister lived in the Philippines. It was Carrie Gabby's moms roommate she sounded very sad. Gabby's dad and Carrie spoke for a long time and then gabby saw tears in her father's eyes. He hung up the phone a started to silently cry to himself. After about 10 minutes gabby asked what was wrong. Her father replied "Gabby I'm afraid something terrible has happened to your mother" Gabby then said "what is it daddy what happened to mommy". Her father said "she she she has left us she has gone to heaven to be with Jesus". Gabby started crying too. A week later the whole family was at the funeral in North Carolina. Gabby walked up to her mother's coffin and started to say "mommy mommy wake up there are people here crying can you cheer them up". There was no reply. Gabby's father came and told gabby again what had happened to her mother. She started to cry even more.
