Sad Experience

I was in the seventh grade and my sister was in fourth grade. It was typical school day in February, my sister and I woke up, mom drove us to school, and then she would pick us up at 3:00 p.m. My sister and I were unaware of the life changing news we were going to receive when we were picked up.
My mom picked us up like any other day, but she was acting different, like she had something on her mind. I didn't think anything of it, assuming that she is a mom, and they always have things on their mind, whether it be work and what we would be eating for dinner that night. I was sitting in the front seat and my sister was in the back. Then my mom said "I have something to tell u guys" in a very unsure and worried tone. Before we could come up with response, she said "I have breast cancer." I have never cried so much in my entire life. A five minute car ride home felt like a 30 minute car ride.
Of course the first thought in any kids mind would be the possibility of death. The thought of not having my mom was devastating to me. I did not know what to say, or feel or think. I was confused and scared of what could happen. I had no words for what I was feeling, so I just cried and cried. These were the most life changing few minutes of my life, and will forever be the longest and saddest moment I have experienced.
