 * __Cathrine__**

The day that I found out that my friend Cathrine died, I was 4 1/2 years old. That was 2 1/2 years after it happened. I had thought that she had just moved to another state or something. I guess that I was very wrong. THe day my mom told me we werein our living room when I started to to talk about Cathrine. I think my mom thought it was time. When she said the words "Honey, Cathrine didn't move, she died." I started crying. My mom gave me a huge hug. She said that while taking a nap, she had a sezure and it was so bad it took her life. After I stopped crying I finally grasped that she was gone. I knew that she had been gone for at least 2 1/2 years. She was like my sister so it really hurt me, because it felt like I lost my own sister. Today I still think of her, our memories and I miss her a lot. She loved butterflies, especially the Monarch. She always said that she wanted to be one. So now whenever I see a monarch butterfly, I think of her.
