Change it was something we all had to go threw no matter who we were, you didn't have to be famous, or a nerd, or a jock to have your life change. It just happened, it was something far away from anyone's control, but yet it was change that scared us and kept us up all night. It was change that brought a big smile to our faces. It was change that when it sunk in you'd know that things wouldn't and couldn't go back to the was they were.
Miley was an 8 year old experiencing her first loss. She didn't quite get what was going on when her mom took her to the couch. She was deep in thought thinking about her best friends birthday that had just passed she had a HUGE smile on her face thinking about the cake that they made to celebrate. Her own birthday that was 3 days away. Her happy thoughts turned into ones of confusion when her mom explained that her 91-year-old great grand mother had passed away. She didn't believe it so she hugged her mom and left the room not giving it much thought. After all she was only 8 and hardly knew her grandmother, what was she supposed to do?
Miley went on her happy ways trying to cheer up everyone else around her that was crying but nothing seemed to work. The more Miley tried to make people happy the sadder they seemed. Miley couldn't even count how many times she heard someone say, "that poor child she doesn't even know what is going on" or, "I hope when it finally hits her she'll be ok."
It seemed never ending to Miley. There were so many tears and she just didn't get it.
I didn't hit her until the day of not only her birthday party that she shared with her best friend but also the funeral. She stood in the crowd that morning next to her older brother and her aunt. They were silent as the service started.
Miley even though she was only 8 had an advanced mind that know one knew about in her head it hit her. She realized that her grandmother was gone. She suppressed her tears for the sake of her mom and made a promise that from that day on she wouldn't take a single day for granted and she'd live all moments to there fullest and never let anything stop her.
The funeral ended with almost everyone but Miley and her brother Jackson in tears. They got back to the house where the wake was being held. Miley went up to her room and cried wile hugging the blanket her great grandmother made her. Once she re-gained strength and walked down stairs to enter the sea of crying black clothes, Miley said hi to everyone and fake a smile or two none of them real.
After people we gone she went up stairs again and got changed in to her bathing suit for her party that started in less then 2 hours. She rembered her promise so at the party she had as much fun as she could living in the moment not letting any thing stop her.
A few years passed Miley still kept that promise. In her school she had tons of friends and loved it. Things were going great for 12-year-old Miley until her heart broke for a second time. She was with all of her friends at lunch when her phone rang she ignored it knowing her friends would be mad if she answered.
But the phone refused to quit and she answered it only to here that her parents had gotten into a car crash and passed away.
Tears madly filled her eyes. Her friends already sensed something was wrong and walked over. They hadn't seen Miley cry before but she was close to hysterics when they came over. Gill and the others didn't know what was wrong or what to say so they just pulled her into a huge tight hug wile she cried "m-m-m-my p-p-p-parents t-t-there g-g-gone" they all were shocked Mileys mom was like a second mother to all of them and they new from then on they had lost there best friend. Sure Miley would move on in time but she'd always be broken inside.
