Emily Essay Research Paper Emily and I

Emily Essay, Research Paper

Emily and I were in love. She lived in North Carolina and I lived in Ohio. It wasn’t an easy relationship. We communicated often. We met in August. She was diagnosed with cancer in her knee in December. It started in her knee, but had spread too much through out her body. She was dying. We were told that she had about 6 months left.

It was June 3rd. I got a call from her mom at school. She said that Emily was on her death bed and wanted to see me and that she would arrange and pay for plane tickets for me to fly down and the back up the next day for my exams. So, after getting out of school at 2:19 I rushed to Wood Co. airport where I had a 3:30 flight. It was my first time to fly. I don’t remember much about the flight because I had my mind on other things. I got there about 6:30 that evening. She was so happy to see me. I was upset to see the love of my life dying. I sat by her the whole time. We talked. We prayed. And at 10:39 PM she died. I was heartbroken, but I had to go back and take my finals. I had a 12:00 flight back. I was dead tired and depressed the next day, and the grades on my finals reflected that. We drove back down the next day for the funeral.

I miss Emily. She was the greatest thing that happened in my life. She taught me so much. A lot of the way I am today came as a result from her. Although I will find somebody else, nobody will ever replace her. God took her away from me. But I still thank God for the time that he let me have her on earth. I can’t wait for the day that I can see her again in heaven.
