Significant Event

I was 6years old, the youngest child, and the only girl so when my mom told me she was pregnant, I was so excited and filled with joy. I wanted a baby sister more than anything. I remember always laying my head on my mother belly and rubbing it. I didn't really know a lot about pregnancy after all I was only six years old. All I knew was that I had a little brother or sister in my mommy's belly. I didn't even know how she/he got in there. My mom was so excited to bring another child into the world. This was definitely her last child she would always say. My mother never wanted to know the sex of the baby. That was always a surprise to her.

One day we were having "show in tell" at school and I wanted my mom to come in and show off her cool belly. When it was her turn to go up she wasn't there. I didn't know where she was so my teacher just went to the next student. Around lunchtime my grandma was up at the school coming to pick me up. I was surprised to see her but also very happy because I got to leave school early. So when I saw my grandma I remember saying "Grandma what are you doing here where's mommy she missed show and tell?" I can tell something was wrong because my grandma tried to force a smile. She said "Baby we have to go up to the hospital that's where your mamma is" my eyes lit up "oh grandma mommy's having the baby today right now?" All my grandma could say was "let's just go see child". We got to the hospital.

When we arrived to the room, I say my dad and brother standing around my mom bed so I ran over and kiss my mom. "Mommy where's the baby where's my brother or sister" I said. When I said that my mom just closed her eyes and I watched as tears slowly rolled down her cheek. My dad grabbed my hand and held it tight and said "Baby girl something happened with the baby so you won't be able to have a little brother or sister. I was so lost I didn't know what was going on I cried out "No mommy the babies in your stomach like this morning before I went to school". I said, all my mom could do was break down crying. I really didn't understand, my dad explained to me that my mom had a miscarriage. Even with him explaining I still had so many questions. I started to get really depressed so my parents kept me out of school for a few days

When I went back I didn't want to play with my friends or anything I was a six year old that was looking so forward to being a big sister and about to have new best friend I wanted to take the responsibility of becoming an older sister. I was tired of everyone treating me like the baby of the family. I was devastated and hurt because one day my life was all great and I was ecstatic about the new addition to our life. Then the next day it had all disappeared. Even with all the research in the world I still can't understand
