One More Day
Growing up with four younger siblings, I always had many responsibilities, because my mother was a single mother and needed my help taking care of my younger siblings. I was responsible for making sure my youngest brother did his homework, while everyone else did their chores. I was also responible for getting my youngest brother and sister ready for church on Sundays, and some nights I was responsible for making dinner. Older sibling responsibilities were hard to handle and were very frustrating on some days. Luckily I had my wonderful sister, Destiny, to help me keep most of my responsibilities together. She would help our youngest brother on his school work when I arrived home late and she helped bathe our youngest sister. …show more content…
My mom was hoping I would say no, for when I told her my answer, she replied, “after all these years with her, you think she should live with her dad?” I told my mom that she had to think about how Destiny and her father felt. I knew Destiny was missing her father and really wanted to live with him for a years or more. I told my mother that she had to think in an unselfish way and consider that Destiny’s father has love for Destiny just as my mother does. My mom agreed to let her go but little did we know that it meant she wouldn’t be able to call us. Destiny’s father told Destiny, “ since you’re living with me, I think it is best you try going some time without calling your mother and siblings, so you could adjust being without them.” Finding out that Destiny was not allowed to talk to me made me regret ever convincing my mother to let her go to …show more content…

My mom couldn’t do hair that well, so it was usually my responsibility to do the siblings’ hair. My mom would ask me every day, the week Destiny and I were leaving, if I could do Destiny’s hair, but I said I couldn’t because I didn’t think I would have time in my schedule. I remember using Destiny as my experiment to test myself on how well I could shape eyebrows. Destiny let me wax her eyebrows and didn’t even complain about how horrible they looked after I finished them; instead she laughed about it. Her left eybrow was longer than her right eyebrow and we spent our entire night laughing about my mistake. I don’t think I thanked her enough for letting me use her as my dummy. If we had another day together I would remind her how happy she made me just for letting me ruin her eyebrows.
My sister, Destiny means a lot to me and my family. She has worked hard to help me with the rest of our siblings. She always brought giggles to me and agreed to do things with me even if they were ridiculous. If I had one more day with Destiny I would tell her how much I care for her and how thankful I am that she is in my life. I would try to spend a day with her again like the
