Jada Big Sister

I never forget that day when I receive that call from my mother to come home. As I was driving home, I look back in the past as I think how our family use to be. Everyone always thought that we was the loving family in our town.People don't never know what goes on inside a house. My mother was a church going lady. She was on the usher board and president of the senior choir at Great Hope Baptist. My father on other hand was always gone, my baby sister Jada always ask where daddy was . We will always say he's at work. I knew what was going on. At times I would be ashame to tell people who my father was. My father was an undercover drug dealer.My father believe in extra money.My mother never wanted to become part of it. My mother always told me if she ever died before my father to finish raising my sister and brother. It just hit my heart to hear my mother voice sound so sad. At times you can feel when a love one is down. Everytime I'm down in life I alway read Pslam 24, it brings my sprits up.As I drove up in the driveway, the cow and horse was outside eating grass. The sun was going in, it seems as it was going to rain. I had the feeling that I was about to receive some bad news . Because I always remember what the old people use to say when it rain, it pores down as if someone have died. I got out the car with my bags. My mother was crying very bady, asI look in her eyes it brought tears to my eyes. My soul was hurt, and someone has broken my heart. When she said your father, the first thing came to my attention that he may got caught for selling drugs. But then I look at her again and the word came out her mouth was that my father had past alway. My father was in a terrible car accident, its was a head on. My father neck was broken and he had a cut in his head. My father who I always look up too have left me all alone. It felt as I had lost my homie and my best friend of something . The only thing I could do is cry.Im so emotion, how am I going to be strong for my sister. That Saturday at my father funeral people said good things about him. It was good that people did have good things to say about him. I just hated that he sold drugs, as if he really needed too.After the funeral life seem to be having up and down. I was going throught a depression in a deep wonder. I begin to smoke weed and blacks. I had also begin to lose weight people had started to wonder about me. My mother had found out that I had begin to smoke. She told me to stop as soon as possible. I told her that I had stop for she can stop worring about me . That was a lie to cover up my trap. So one day my buddy name Ted and I was driving around campus just doing the same thing as we do everyday. We were smoking a blunt, but this time we had some weed from California some kind of high price weed. We was on another planet, I was so high I didnt know what to do. We enter the cafe, my eyes were blood shot red, I never thought in my life I would be that high. I felt as I was on Mars and Ted was on the Earth. Thats a feeling no one wants to experience in life. We had fell of the sleep in the room. The next day we laught at ourselves what had happen the day before.Two weeks later Ted and I was going over to some of his pals crib from his job. Ted major was Mechanical Engineering and my major was Electrical Engineering with a major in Computer Science. At least we had somethinging in common . We begin to smoke that night so one of his pals by the name of George ask me do I want to roll. So from my point of view Im thinking he's talking about rolling a blunt. He said no homie Im talking about taking a pill a ex, as people known as the date rape pill. I look at the pill and I also took the pill. I was like nothing should happen to me tonight I straight. My eyes begin to get low and my body begin to go throught different changes. I begin to look around it seems as everything was going slow in slow motion. I begin to love becoming high off pill and weed. All of suddenly I receive a call from my mother saying that she had all such bad things about me being on drugs. She always told me people carry bad news before good news about you. It seems as know one understand me and waht I was going through It seems as the pill was my friend, it releive the pain of my father deaf. My grades had begin to fall . I went from an A student to an F student. Do any one know how that feels. I was put on probation with the school becaause to the low GPA I had. I was on pills bad. So one day I was so high but I didnt like the feeling I had because I was feeling sad and very depress with this type of high. I was praying to god to take care me, because I was scare for my life becasue I never experience an high like that. I had pass out on the floor, my eyes were open i can hear everything and see also, but the only thing I couldnt do was talk and move. I was praying and I remember what my mother use to say. Through God Christ and Savior you can do anything through him. I had faith, for some odd reason ask God to give me the voice to sing. I had pass out as if I had died. When I had awaken I was fill with joy, i felt like dancing with the holy spirit dance. I had got off the floor and ran to the car. I went to the dorm and got ready for church . I had made it to church, for some odd reason Jada and my mother was visiting my church i was so surprise to see them. While in church they had a testimony moment for people to get up and talk about how they have been bless. I was so full with the holy spirit, I told people how I had been thruough hell and back. I also told them how I live my life. I was so happy that i wanted to sing, the sound that was on my heart was "God Take These Throwns Alway In My Life" . I had felt so much better and everysince that day I haven takena a pill or nor type of drugs.
