Losing Debo

“Losing Debo”




My hand trembled as I punched the number into the phone. I had just got the news that my cousin had been in an accident. The only thing I could think about was if he was okay? My aunt called my phone in total shock. The way she yelled and screamed shook my entire family, as we awaited the news to see if he would pull through or not. He didn’t. That’s when I dropped the phone and couldn’t breathe, think, or even cry. My heart felt like it had just been ripped out. While my older cousin sat there describing how graphic the accident was. He explained how the grand prix had been split in half and how their body parts and blood everywhere. The only thing I could do was cry. My cousin Debo was like my best friend and God had called him home so soon. I just went my cousin to know that he may be gone, but he’s never forgotten.
