Unexpected and Unforeseen Events

    This story is not true it is a story I made up but, someone could have been through the same thing.
      Hi, my name is Elizabeth. I was a little girl a year ago and now I feel like I am older. Now feel like I am actually loved with the people I’m living with for the first time in my life. You wouldn't understand if I just tell you that. So here is the story.
     There I was watching my white Pit bull with amazing blue , sparkly eyes running back and forth at the waiting area, in the Kadlec hospital in Casper, Wyoming. I had to be in the car all the long , long way here from Lost Springs, Wyoming if you don’t know that is 1 and ½ hr.To an eleven year old it seems like an eternity. I came here with my moms parents who have practically raised me all my life and I love them very dearly.

     Just so you know, I am here in this horrible place is because I was  diagnosed with Astrocytomas (Brain Cancer)  It is not fun there is not much chance I will make it, hurts like the dickens ,  I become bald, I can’t control my emotions, etc. You can see I am very overwhelmed by everything.

     Going back to my dog, He is my last hope. I should tell you my parents are the typical parents they work in an lawyer firm and live in Casper, Wyoming. My mom has long curly hair and green eyes that if you look in them its as if your looking in the eyes of a valley you can also see how strong she is and willful. My dad is the more quiet type unless he is on a case that gets him very excited. He has blue eyes that look like the raging of a sea, you can see a sailor-man on his ship try to get to shore. My dad has fiery orange hair that he usually slicks down like a nice lawyer should. But, as good as that sounds I don't "hang out" with them if you know what I mean.They have to work so they can pay the bills for my treatments. My pit bull was my last present before I got sick. I named her Arnavaz meaning comforter. 
     Something happened when I was waiting, my parents arrived in their lawyer suites, I was so thrilled! I ran and squeezed them it was the best surprise ever (other than Arnavaz.) We talked and talked about the treatments, and how my cousins were doing, and how they were praying for me and my appointment. Then it was time for my appointment.The doctor said "Elizabeth Shelby?" I stood up and walked into her office.
      The doctor was a women who was Guatemalan with short brow hair with blond streaks. She was probably about the height of 5'4. She was her name was Athalia Clower. She was kind was very gentle in how she did tests.
     When I came out I was hoping to find my parents waiting. But, my grandparents Grandpa Leland, Grandma Cindy instead, I was so happy they were there I just wanted to see my parents though. I asked where my parents had gone and Grandpa replied “Well, they got called back to work and had to go they protested but, it didn’t help.” My Grandma always knew how it felt growing up with parents who were busy a lot.  She was in the same circumstance when she was my age (11) until 16 years of age. “You want me to get ice cream your favorite flavor of ice cream. Cheer up sweetie.”
     Grandpa left to go get some Ben and Jerry's Ice cream when the phone rang in my room. I answered “Hello” thinking it would be my parents, making excuses again. “Hi this is the Chief of Police Sergeant Jennings. Is this Elizabeth Shelby?” he asked, after those words I knew I wouldn't want to hear what he had said. I answered with a knot in my stomach, “Yes this is Elizabeth." My mind was racing were my parents hurt, did something happen against the law, am I just overacting? "I need to tell you that your parents have gotten in a  crucial car accident." Then he said more worse news: "Its very unlikely your parents are going to survive. I’m so sorry.” He said he was sorry but, that didn't help one bit. Its like my heart has stopped and I can no longer breathe. I drop the phone and fall to the ground and I can see the curly, black, sleek wire of the phone dangling around.
      A nurse named Emma came to help me up. I ran into my grandparents arms that have held me so long. I didn't know what I would do except sob into their arms.
      After that, we drove a long way home. We stopped by our favorite milkshake diner called "Mr. Maclin's Milkshakes" I got a chocolate banana milkshake. I went to my house trying not to cry.  and I just stood there for some time.  I went to my door, that leads to my bedroom.Then I grab some courage somewhere deep inside and grabbed my door knob that is brass and shinny and I walked into my bare bedroom. It looked the same way I had left it, simple. I grabbed my suitcase and put all my clothes in there but, not in a neatly fashion.
      Then, I stopped abruptly, and I cried out and said "Lord, can you just tell my parents I love them and care for them. I miss them Lord please help me to know they are in a better place now.  Amen."
       Months later, after the funeral and burial and many many amounts of treatments. It was time, time to realize That I had no hope. I knew If I was going to heaven I should be happy. I was peaceful about it and so were my grandparents. 
        "Grandma Cindy, Papa Leland , please know I will go to heaven eventually whether now or later. Please have peace about it. I don't want you to have grief because I know I will go to heaven." They just smiled and nodded in assurance. 
        Then Dr. Athalia walked in and said " There is big news. When we ran tests on Elizabeth's brains we found no cancer. She is cancer free! Congratulations!" I didn't no what to do except cry and hug and kiss my "parents" that I love so dearly. 
         Now you know, the unforeseen events I have been through in the last year. I think God has shown me to be happy for all I have. I hope you are happy for all God has given you.
