Subject: Aunty

She had suffered with Pneumonia. But when she came out of hospital we all expected her to get better and none of us thought that she would get ill again. On the Sunday, the day after she came out of hospital, we all went up to see her. On the Tuesday we went up after school to see her again but my big sister, Catherine, chose to stay behind because she was going to out with a mate. None of us had any idea that this would be the last time that we would ever see her again.
Later in the week, on the Thursday, I came home from school and was talking to my little sister about my day whilst my big sister was on the computer. When the phone rang I ran to answer it. It was my nan and she sounded very worried!
I handed Mum the phone and she started talking in a very scared voice that made my big sister come off the computer to ask me who it was, I told her that it was Nan and that I thought that maybe it was my Granddad. Mum told me that my Aunt had had a heart attack and the doctors had managed to get a weak pulse going. I couldn't get my head round what my Mum had just said to me and as I waved goodbye to her as she went out the
hospital. I promised my sister that she would be OK.
A soon as my mum got in I knew what had happened...
