The Best Days

on their four legs. You family member is a dog. Usually your best friend is you dog, or your closest family member is a dog, but no matter it still hurts to watch them go. Little did I know on that hot day my best friend would leave this earth. My dog’s name was Daisy and about a year ago she died. It was just a normal day my Uncle Shane was in from town.

Saturday, August 19, 2017, was the day I left my best friend. Going into my senior year of high school, my initial thoughts were college applications and the freedoms college would soon grant me.

I remember taking a break and getting in my Facebook account feeling very stressful and nagging to myself, “it is only going to be a few minutes”.

Who knew that one day would change my life forever? I thought that it was going to be just an average Saturday night until I heard my phone, and I had received a text message from a friend of mine. At the time we were not all that close, and we pretty much just talked inside of school. Little did I know that we would become inseparable the very next day. The text message said, "Can you come over for dinner tonight?" I asked my mom, and she told me that I could not go, because she did not know my…

“Guess what? I [her mother] translated all of our name into Nigerian!” yelled my best friend, Taylor. “Akeira, your name is ‘Ah-kee-ki-doh,’” “Haha, cookie dough, that’s funny.
