Kennedy's p.o.v (he is 24 ongoing 25 at the time)

Anxiously, I wait here in the hospital lobby with my sister Maisie. Strangely, mom is getting a biopsy on Maisie's fifteenth birthday. I remember mom experienced a similar scare

before Maisie was born. Those biopsy results turned out to be negative. It is times like these that I realize how truly precious life is. I try my best to make Maisie feel special

today. We exchange funny stories and jokes. The future appeared bright until mom announced she had breast cancer.
