리틀팍스

It was a chilly day when Liv said she was leaving. I should've stopped her and begged to stay, but foolishly, I haven't. Liv often said she was leaving, and at that moment, it was not a big deal. But it was a big deal. After she left, mother came back and saw Liv's cold body. She dropped all her belongings and ran to Liv's side. It was too late. My dear sister had peacefully gone to the place where I believe was heaven. 

 That night, nobody in the house slept. Even my cold brother, Phyllis stayed all night crying for Liv. I told mother that Liv was happy in heaven, and she won't want us to be sad because of her, for she was too caring and kind to want that. And she would've met father by now, who was also in heaven. 

 Liv was always the bright sunshine that was upon us. When I came home, she was always there, smiling broadly and waving her hands enthusiastically. Then, I would forgot every unpleasant thing that bothered me at school and run to wash my hands, and enjoy the nice dinner that's waiting for me. 

 Liv never said a bad thing that insulted others, except when she saw me tortured by a middle-school student. Liv had ran over to me, throwing her arms and hugging me. Then she turned around and scolded the middle-school student, rather hurshly, though he deserved it. 

 Once, I sat next to Liv and asked her, "Liv, what would I do if you leave me to go meet father?" "Oh, Emily. I'd never do that. However, I'll have to leave you when the time is right and god lies over me. No people can live forever, I think you know that." Liv said soothingly. I burst into tears at that spot right after Liv said it. It was a foolish thing to do, but at that moment, I couldn't help myself. I loved my dear sister so much that the thought about she leaving me disrupted my emotions. But I never thought she'd come to leave me so soon.

 Liv wasn't a type that was healthy, actually, I could say her as feeble and week. She always suffered more when we both caught the same flu. I'd be okay in one or two weeks, but Liv would lie sick for at least a month. Her body wasn't strong to illnesses, the doctor once said. Maybe that made me feel more downcasted when Liv left for heaven.

 It was just a week or so before Liv left us. I was playing in the mud when snow started to fall. At first, I ran around delighted that it was snowing, and played some more. But I soon descovered that the snow was falling fastly and heavily. Before I could do anything, the snow had covered up the entire playground and also, myself. I began to shiver as I ran for home. My legs went numb and I could feel my fingers freeze. Then I heard someone calling for me. It was Liv, running around in her winter coat, calling for me desparately. She soon spotted me and ran over. I was almost frozen when she found me. She took her coat off and covered me up. Then we went home. Liv lay sick for long before she died. It makes me feel as if she died because she had took her coat off to make me warm. If I only had came home right after the snow started falling, Liv might not have died.
