Name a part of your life that you would like to relive.

This essay question touch me in many ways. Sorry I wrote so much. Forgive any errors, I just wrote from my heart.

I have asked myself this kind of question in my head over and over and time again. However, I have never thought of it this way, in a way in which it can really be possible for me to relive an event or part of my life once more. I have dream of this possibility so many times. Now I have this opportunity to dream even though I know it is not real . I close my eyes and see so many images and I don't know where I want to go .Finally, I close my eyes, and see myself there in the kitchen table staring at my mom while she is cooking, I can see my little brother sitting in the rocking chair, which he balance it back and forth. I can hear my older brother voice singing from the shower. This is the place I want to be “Home. “ These are the moments I want to cherish once more.

Life comes at us and we are so busy thinking about other things, like what to buy, what to do, or where to go, and we forget to enjoy our people, to take advantage of this wonderful time we have with them, to live each and every day like our last one. We forget completely about what really matters, since we are so cut up in our desires of having material things, or thinking about what others are doing. The day comes in which you wish you could turn the time back, and have taken advantage of those simple moments with your mom and brothers. I for example, lost my family in a car accident. Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to say good bye to them, I found out they were dead days after their funeral. This is a time I want to turn back, I want to be able to see them one last time. In reality I want to turn the time back and travel to that day in which we were going in that trip, I want to turn the time back, and stay home and hug my mother as well as my brothers. Tell them all, how much they all mean to me, I want to tell them that life without them has been the hardest thing I have ever had to endure,

A mother is the most important person one can have, and there is only one in this world. Regardless of how she is, she is your mother, and I was very lucky to have such a great woman who has influenced me so much until this day even though she is no longer with me. A single mom who raised 4 children on her own, with the help of no one. This is the kind of person that makes a mother, the one who stays up all night watching you sleep when you have a fever, the one who thinks of her children before herself . She is a mother and a fabulous one. I want to relive this moments with my mother and my brothers. Benefit from their love, and tell them how much I have needed them during this years of my life . I want to tell my mother that I'm a mother today, and that I wish I could be half as good as she was with me. In addition , to hear from her lips how beautiful and intelligent I'm just like she used to tell me, That's one more thing I miss from her, her kisses and hugs as well as her advices. I want her to comfort me when I feel sad. I need her to tell me I can do it, I need her to tell me I will accomplish it. I want to live happily, and stop this pain I have in my heart. I feel strong at times, and even like I'm over the pain. Thus the truth is far away from reality, I'm not fine and I need her, I need the one who brought me into this world to be with me, to hold me in her arms and tell me it is going to be alright.

I know this are just dreams that will never become true, but I like to think that one day I will hear their voice again. I don't know if I really focused on the time I wanted to relive or the people that mean so much to me on this essay. All I know is that love is a betraying feeling, which sometimes leads us to happiness, and on other times leads us to pain. Someone said to me once, “You cannot love if you don't get hurt” I don't know up to what extent this is true, but I'm starting to understand the meaning of it. For those of you, who have lost a member of the family may know the pain that's involved. It has taken me many years to get over this loss and even though it is eight years now, I'm still in the same place I was 8 years ago. How do I get better? I don't know, I have tried many things, even to stop thinking about them, but it has been in vain. All I want for you the reader, is to take a moment and think about those around you that mean the most to you. Don't forget to say “I love you “ because you may not have the chance to say it one day.
