When I was younger, my parents always bragged how I was a quiet and obedient child. Growing up in a small town of Tennessee and Illinois, where there were more trees than people, you knew everyone.

One day you could be having a normal conversation with that one person talking about something exciting that happened in your day and the next day, they are gone. I can relate to this to a tee because I have gone through this with my mom. In my freshman year of high school, she got really sick and had a seizure in her sleep. I was the one that had found her and I was the one that called the ambulance. After a week of being…
