These are the seeds that grow an “everlasting tree” to remind us that momma will always be with us forever and always.
These are the seeds that grow an “everlasting tree” to remind us that momma will always be with us forever and always.

This is my object because my bestfriends  mother passed away about four years ago. My bestfriends  name is Nevaeh Smith. We have been friends since we were three years old. We have always known that our last names are the same, but we just thought they were the same, we never thought we could be related. Momma had been in the hospital with lung failure and C.F. She had been sick for a while. She just started having trouble breathing, then she finally went to the hospital. I had got a phonecall  that momma had passed away. It was June nineteenth, it was 1:23 a.m. Everyone was devastated. About a week later, we went to her body viewing. I ran into my aunt, on my biological mothers side. It turns out that Nevaeh and I were second cousins all along.   These seeds are very important to me because if it weren’t for these seeds, Nevaeh and I would’ve never known we were related.
