Memoir Piece

Ellie DeRosby

Everything my dad has told me to focus on is blurring through my mind. I want to be just like him. The way he moves so quick, yet so soft. Will I ever be able to do that?

I had been dreading this day for months. I hate saying goodbye. Kylee and I have been best friends since preschool, and our parents were telling us to leave each others side. I couldn’t stand just the thought of not seeing my other half. I hated this. Trying not to let tears trickle down my face. i felt the drop slide down my cheek, and she wrapped me in her arms. It was the best hug ever. I wanted her to stay for eternity.

I turned back towards my dad, about to shed tears. I would never go on Splash Mountain. For just an instant, I thought I was going to die. We reached the peak of the hill, and my life flashed before my eyes. I couldn’t believe what I was thinking… I want to do it again!
