GONE TOO SOON


It was July 12th around mid-night;, my siblings and my cousin were on their way home from a church rally. My cousin received a phone-call from my father telling her that her sister had took her life. She couldn't drive as far anymore so they pulled over to switch drivers. From then on around 3 o'clock in the morning I was awaken by my brother telling me and my sister about our cousin taking her life. As I was sitting there and thinking, all I could hear was the family losing control. I took it in a very difficult way but I understood that she was a true angel.


Nobody really knew why she did what she did and until this day we as a family still wonder. There were so many different stories told in different ways but we still can’t believe she is gone. That day my heart dropped and I was just shocked because I never, we never expected she would do what she did because she was a true and genuine girl everyone loved. A month before she passed she had moved out here from San Francisco, and just meeting up with her again felt really good but we could of spent more time together. We talked and laughed and had fun but on that day when I heard those exact words “SULU DIED” I couldn't’t speak or cry because it was very hard to understand. But I had to be strong for my auntie and cousins.

My family and I decided that we would drive out there to California for her funeral because there was no way we could afford to go on a plane. My father and mother wasn’t sure at first whether we should go because money wise but they made their decision and so we all packed up and drove there with two cars. When we got there we were so excited to see everyone. I mean my whole family was there. We spent all the time we had with our family. Then came the funeral day, the hardest part everyone had to deal with. It was the craziest and biggest funeral I have ever been to. The first day of the funeral everything had gone good just like every other funeral. Everyone shed tears especially when her slide show was shown. The next day it went crazy. As soon as it was time to close the coffin, everyone screamed, cried, and tried to keep it open because no one was ready to let her go. This has been the most difficult time in my life that I had to deal with. It was an eye opener for everyone. I will always remember that no matter what happened to my cousin no one can say anything about whether her destination is in heaven or hell. We'll have to leave that up to GOD. I will miss our family tyz princess and she will always be loved and remembered today, now, and forever. Through the heartache and pain my family went through we have realized that our dear sister, cousin, and niece has brought our family together as one. Sulu Meafua I will always love you from the bottom of my heart...Though you left too soon. You will always be in my heart. R.I.L FAMILY TYZ PRINCESS!!!
