Kathy
Kathy is
a very sweet and a strong person. She loves dancing and all kinds of sports. She
is an optimistic person, there is nothing can damage her. People always say that
she is a Helios, she holds the sunshine and also gives the sunshine for the
people around her. She warms everyone’s heart and everyone loves her. I know
sometimes she is depressed, but she knows how to balance herself and she knows
how to find the way out. Kathy’s
best friend is dancing. When she depressed, she turned on the music. When the
mellow and powerful music begins, she closes her eyes and forgets her
dissatisfactions. A current, warm and potent, sweep over her, against
closes eyelids she see swift clouds slip by, hundreds of choirboys in black and
red robes move in rhythm. Sometimes, she listens to the music and begins to
dance. Her footsteps all over her room fills in bubbling enthusiasm in every
corner- so simple is it and so spiritual! It is her favorite air, all pain,
care, and sorrow disappear from her in the moment.
Last year, Kathy didn’t feel well for a while. She had a lot of exams. One
day, Kathy is supposed to have lunch with her friends, but her doctor wanted to
talk to her so Kathy went to her doctor’s office with her brother first. The
doctor told Kathy that she had bone-cancer and she needed to do the chemotherapy
as soon as possible. Kathy asked her doctor, “What is the situation I have
now?” The doctor said to her, “The cancer is spreading out your other organs
in your body.” Kathy asked again, “How long will I live? Could the
chemotherapy save my life?” The doctor said to her, “No chemotherapy can
only extend your life, longer but it won’t cure your cancer. If you don’t do
the chemotherapy then your will only live for six weeks.” Kathy said to her
doctor, “If chemotherapy could not cure my cancer and then I am not going to
have chemotherapy. I am going to enjoy my life now.” She said to her brother,
“ Let’s go!” Her brother asked her, “Go where?” She said, “Go to a
party. I am going to have a lunch party with my girl friends.” So she went.
She didn’t tell anyone that she had gotten the news from her doctor that she
had cancer and she was going to die, also
that her life would only exit for six weeks. For the next four weeks, Kathy was
having a great time with her friends until the week before she died. That week
she was in bed and so many people visited her. One of her friends asked her, “
What is the hateful thing you think now.” Kathy said, “ When I am dead, my
ex-husband didn’t have to support me. I hate that he will gain three thousand
dollars every month.”
Kathy died last November. When Kathy’s family had a funeral for her at church.
The church minister held the dove and said to everyone at Kathy’s funeral,
“This dove is a symbol of Kathy’s spirit. The twenty doves are symbols of
the angels leading Kathy’s spirit to heaven. After the minister’s speech,
the minister held the dove, looked at up the sky and let the dove fly, but right
after the minister opened his hands, the dove fell on the floor. All the people
in the funeral couldn’t stop the laughing with their tears. Someone said that
she didn’t want to go. She didn’t want to go anywhere. But anyway, the
minister walked slowly to the dove and used his mouth made a sound, “He
breathe out slowly then he was very quiet, clapped his hand once. The dove flew
away.
Kathy is passed away, but her soul is still with us. We all miss her. Her
music, dancing, and her smile face
always with us. We love her. |
