Sad Times
Peter, Amy and their parents lived happily in the city. They had a wonderful life, living happily in their apartment. They had no obstacles to stop them from living happily. One day, when their mother did not come back in time to cook dinner, they felt that something was wrong. When their father came home with a very sad look, they knew that the worst has happened. Their father called them over and said to them with a sorrow voice "Your mother is in hospital, she has had breast cancer for a year and now, it is affecting her very badly badly." After hearing the saddest news in the world, they tried to talk but they had a lump in their throat. Tears fell from their eyes. Why did this happen to them? On that night, they went to the hospital to visit their mother. When they saw her on the bed, trying really hard to breathe, tears fell from their eyes. When she saw them, she smiled a weak smile. Tears fell even more regularly when they saw her like this. Right then, the nurse came in. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here." Then she backed away, taking the tray of leftover food with her. Their mother sat up and started taking her mask off."Don't take off the mask, save your breath," said Peter. Despite what he said, she kept removing her mask. "How are you two?" she asked in a faint and wheezy voice."I'll be fine, don't worry. I've just had surgury done, and this very nice representitive from the Breast Cancer Foundation just came in. She said that the Breast Cancer Foundation will be helping our funds." With that, they all smiled. That was one good news today.
