by Andrew Ramos Snowy day in 2008 my family and
I was heading to go see our family in Ohio.
We got packed and then headed to the airport. As we were walking out to get into our car my aunt called and told my mom that my cousin died In his basketball game from his heart problem when he was born my mom dropped to her knees and started crying I didn’t know what happened then we went to the airport and landed in ohio. We headed straight to my aunts house she was crying also when we got there.
Then the rest of the family came and my aunt showed us on the news of him dying. I started feeling sad that I couldn’t see my cousin anymore. Then everyone started to cry so I ran upstairs and almost started to cry myself. Then we were setting up the funeral it took us a week to get they had everything ready. My cousins were so sad that have lost their big brother. It was hard for them.
every day I was there I tried to make them feel better but nothing was working. The next day was the day before the funeral we got everything ready. So the day of the funeral I saw my cousin he was pale and he wasn’t moving I started crying. they had a little shrine for him and all the things he loved It was close by his casket. By the time the funeral was over we closed the casket and he was buried. I went home and got everything and I was heading back to Colorado. But then my aunt said that she

was talking to my mom and we are going to florida in a couple of weeks. So that cheered my cousin a little but at least my cousins were happy. sad that I couldn’t see my cousin anymore.
