For me, yes. My 15 month old cousin and my grandfather.
I'll tell you about my cousin first, On July 12, 2018, tragedy struck my family. My aunt, Kristal Kennedy, had been going to nursing school because she wanted to become a nurse. She had 4 children, Nevaeh 11, Giovonni 7, Donte 5, and Shaylynn 15 months. As you read on please keep in mind that her then 7 year old had Cystic Fibrosis, better known as CF. Anyway, my aunt left to go to nursing school. At around 6 pm, my aunt got a call from her 11 year old daughter Nevaeh. Nevaeh had said that her 15 month old sister Shaylynn had fallen into their pool and wasn't breathing. She had tried CPR, but it didn't work. My aunt rushed to the hospital Shaylynn was at. Later, she got news that sadly Shaylynn hadn't made it.
My aunt called my parents and told them. Later that week, we drove out to Arizona to go to Shaylynn's funeral. My aunt flat out said that she thought she'd have to bury her 7 year old son before any of her other children ((remember why)). Before we had Shaylynn's funeral, my aunt, dad, 6 year old ((at the time)) brother, and me ((i was 10)) got to see Shaylynn at the funeral home. then we got to see her again at the funeral because it was open casket. I even touched her and she felt like a rubber doll... RIP Shaylynn Leeanne Elizabeth Kennedy March 14, 2017-July 12, 2018. Now, my surviving cousins are 14, 10, and 8. Shaylynn would have been 5 next March. Search up her name to learn more.



Now about my papa. On October 18, 2020 ((3 days from my 13th birthday)) my Grandfather, Robert Alec Steadward, died of Alzheimer's disease. I cried all morning because I wanted him to at least see my turn into a teenager. But at least he watching from above. I love you papa! RIP Papa January 7, 1945-October 18 ,2020
