In one moment Melanie thought that her morning was going to be like every other normal morning, but in the next moment it turned into the saddest moment of my life. I woke up like every morning, got dress, brushed my hair and headed downstairs to grab a bowl of cereal and watch the news with my mom. After I finished my cereal I went to the kitchen to take care of my bowl of cereal and then to the bathroom to brush my teeth, I still had no idea the news that I would get in only mere minutes that would affect me for the rest of my life. I returned to the living room to grab my keys, put my books in my bag and get ready to go to school. While I was doing that my mom who was also getting ready to go to work got a phone call and in the middle of getting ready stopped to answer the phone. When my mom answered the phone, I just thought that it was my grandparents calling to ask my mom about something because they do that sometimes, but the next thing that I know my mom was on her way upstairs still on the phone. Now I was getting concerned because my mom was really quiet when she went up the stairs and my mom never is that quiet unless something was really wrong. When my mom got upstairs she continued taking, I turned to my brother and asked him who was on the phone and he said that it was our dad who lived in Tennessee with my dog Bailey who she love so much, but sadly my dog has been sick for a little while but was getting better. My mother returned downstairs silent again said to my brother “It’s your father he wants to talk to you” and handed the phone to him. After he said hello he didn’t say another word. My brother said to our dad “okay I love you too goodbye” and then handed the phone to me. When I got on the phone I said “Hi daddy” and when he said “Hey Baby” I knew that something was really wrong because my father was crying and he never cried unless there was something really wrong. He said “Baby I’m so sorry to tell you this now right before you go to school but Bailey died this morning.” I instantly burst into tears because I loved bailey so much and the fact that I wasn’t there with her for the last three years except for when I went to visit my dad in the summer I didn’t see her very much her because now she was gone. The rest of the conversation between me and my dad was just tears because that’s all that we could do. Finally after more tears my dad said “I sorry to tell you this now but I thought that you would rather know now then me tell you later” fighting through tears I said “Yes thank you” “I know that you have to get to school so I will call you later tonight to check on you okay?” “Okay” I said and we both said that we loved each other and hung up the phone. The moment that I hung up the phone I burst into tears again in my mom’s arm’s and cried harder than I have ever cried in my life, but I knew that I had to get going because I still had school so we got in the car and headed for the school the whole way there I was trying to make myself stop crying but it didn’t matter because when I got to school I still cried. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life because it was the saddest moment of my life.
