1.
We take to many things for granted but when one goes missing we feel the pain of missing it
2.
when we feel that pain we wish for other to feel the same way we do
3.
when they finally feel the same way as we do we wish the pain to stop for them but not us
4.
we wish for the pain to make us stronger but when if first happens we wish to stop it that is why we take things for granted
5.
we shun the ones that don’t know what it is like to fell the same as us so we do not make them feel that way

The author's comments:
I was twelve years old one of my best friends mom when in to the hospital with cancer. She never came out of that place and even to this day she still feels the pain of that day. What she doesn’t know is I to have felt that pain three times already. I will not tell people this because I need no sympathy from them.
