My Favorite Place

My favorite place is My bedroom in My apartment because My bedroom is always clean and warm. In My bedroom I have My TV and books. My sister and I watch movies and read in our bedroom. Every day I call My son and I talk with My family from My bedroom because My family is the most important people for me. At night I drink coffee, and sometimes my nephew play in my bedroom. I can relax there for a long time, and I always look at the picture of my family. My bedroom is my favorite place because it makes me feel relaxed, warm, and happy.



My Sad Experience

My sad experience happened three years ago in Mexico.I was with my family talking when my son arrived from school. He said,Mom,at the house of my uncle,there are a lot police and people. My Son asked me, what happened? I had no idea what he was talking about. At that moment,My cousin arrived. She said,where is your father? You are coming to my house.I asked why, and she said because my brother and his wife are dead! I was in shock. They had two girls,one two years old and the other three months.The house had no signs of robbery or any crime but my cousin and his wife had been shot in the head with a pistol in the bedroom. My cousin had been usphyxiated and had a plastic bag tied around his head. The babies had a lot of blood on their faces and feet but were not hurt.They were only crying for their mom because they were hungry. They were orphaned on that day,but today they are living with her grandparents and do not know or understard what happened to their parents. The older baby sometimes asks, where is my father and our mom? My cousin tells her, your parents are in the sky. At night you can see them in the sky,but the baby does not understand. For me,this day was the saddest moment of my life when I saw my cousin dead .We still do not know exactly how or why they died or who is responsible for their deaths.
