I was so scared when my papa didn't come home. My mama tried to calm me down but i knew on the inside she was in great pain. I couldn't believe my eyes when a wagon appeared outside of our home. When my mama fell to her to the ground crying her heart out i knew something was wrong. When they finally told me my papa was dead i just cried and cried.
