This is quite hard to write about....

When I was 6 years old the summer started brilliantly. We went to the USA to see my father's relatives in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. He was american. It was just the time of my life. When we got home, my Dad went back to work and I remember a telephone call and my mother and I going to the hospital but I was not to see him and I had to stay with a friend of my mother's. I really did not know what was going on really except to say he was not around anymore. I remember my mother taking me to the park and saying that Dad had gone to heaven and she bought a balloon for me to let off in the sky. The rest of the summer was just full of sadness and confusion as I really was not old enough to understand really. This was the most devastating summer of my life.

Getting proper hyped for a 4 star hotel and turning up into the hotel looking for your coach when a guy turns up and tells you that your hotel is getting upgraded and you've been moved down to a 3 star hotel. Along with a 1,000 euro voucher to spend on activities which the hotel rep sorts out. Everyone hates it and we are stuck there with loads!

Well, When I got my first truck which was not that nice, I went to pick up my friend all excited because I got to drive before him. I pulled into his neighborhood and a little puppy Chihuahua ran out barking at my truck, and let's say it didn't end to well for the dog.

A few summers ago my autistic cousin was walking home from camp with his mom and his twin brother and as they were walking he ran into the street because he didn't really understand the danger to hismelf as a part of his autism, he couldn't understand coming to serious harm as they'd done a good job of raising him . Because there was traffic on their side, the car on the other side didn't see him as he darted through the gap between two minivans and struck him at 30mph. He died the next day in the hospital.

Then a week and a half later, my friend's sister was out biking, when a landscaping truck made a wide left turn and didn't see her. She was stopped in the road but still got caught between the truck and the trailer it was pulling, and was dragged for 25 feet as he tried to brake and then thrown another 50. Luckily she passed quickly and didn't have much pain but it was terrible for her family and my friend.

Pretty depressing summer for a suburban community where the big gossip the previous summer was a plumber stealing a woman's pearl necklace out of her bedroom.
