It all had started when she moved to Chico, CA. She had moved there to be with a guy that she had been seeing on the computer. Before she moved I was always at her house. When she did move I wasn’t happy. When I found out that she was getting married to some guy named Dan. She never said why she was moving at least not to me.

She lived in CA for four years when we found out that she had cancer in the brain. She had it taken out, and then it came back. This time she came home to see her family. We had a long talk. We talked about school and how I had moved up to WI. If I liked it there or if I could move, where would I move to? She told me that nothing was going to happen and that she was going to live forever.

I knew that the cancer was going to kill her, because I overheard my mom, grandma, and my aunt saying that she had three to four months to live.

On January 10 I went to see her one last time. I told her that it was OK to go, that I will always have her in my heart and that I would always love her. I told her that mom and dad had sent their love. She told me that she had a present for me and that I couldn’t open until I got home. I told her thank you. When I had left I couldn’t wait to open, when I did I cried, it was a heart necklace that said. “No matter where I am I will always be with you.”

On January 12, 2003, my grandma called at four in the morning telling us that Sue had died. Now I know that she is watching over me and my family, and I can't wait to see her.

Losing someone you love is hard, but you have to look passed it when they are gone, then you know that you will always love them forever even when you find someone new to love.
