Personal Narrative Essay: Coming Together

Improved Essays
Coming Together We had always traveled together. My family, and two others. This was the year 2012, middle of December. My uncle and his kids decided to drive to Mexico a few days before us. His kids had come out of school and we still had finals. They left December 14. It takes 3 full days to drive all the way to Michoacán Mexico, where our family lives. Every night they would call and let us know where they were going to ensure that they were fine and getting closer. A few nights before we left to Mexico, we got an abrupt call. It was around 10 at night and it 's very unusual to get a call at that time. My father answered, I knew something was wrong just by the look on his face. He walked to his room and began grabbing clothes and putting it in a bag nearby. Confused and scared, I tried to figure out he was talking to. As soon as my dad hanged up, I asked what had happen.

My aunt, Olivia has been living in heaven for 11 years without seeing any of her kids. She had left them here without a choice. This year God was giving her a present that would bring her joy, but to others pain. The present was her son. The present was not only for her but also for him. Ismael had been here without a mom and being able to live the rest of his life with her is more than what is

The smell of disinfectant and sweat seemed pleasant, when compared to the baby with the sagging diaper running around. Sitting with his girlfriend was Larry Goodman, a Rubeus Hagrid lookalike, minus the moleskin overcoat. He adjusted the blue hospital mask that was too tight.

    There are little bits and pieces of day to day life that I think of fitting together like a puzzle in order to form who we are. Some of the bigger events can have a profound ripple effect and can even change the way we perceive our friends, family and the world around us. Some of these changes are more subtle or subconscious, while others are very apparent such as a new job or a death. The most recent of these events was my grandmother passing.…
