This purple box is not just a box, it's my little sister’s. She had passed away when I was just 3 or 4 so I never got to play with her or grow up with her. In my family it is my mom and dad, grandma and 2 older sisters and a very handsome nephew. Having 2 older sisters I was always being left out because they are older by a few years. When I found out that I was going to have a little sister I was so happy but of course I didn't really know much but I was really happy. But coming to the day my mom was due something had happened and my little sister didn’t make it. I was really upset when it happened, they had told me that she went to another home where she is always going to be safe. They told me about the box when I was 5 or 6. They showed me this beautiful purple box with a light purple bow on top. In the inside of the box there was a white with blue dress, it looked like it was for a doll and there were also socks in there with a picture of her footprints.We keep her box in my mom’s room. She has it in her dresser with white flowers and she always lights up a candle.  The purple box is big, simple and pretty. It is made out of leather and when we mostly have it out is when it’s her birthday. When I see this box it makes me feel like things could've been different if she was here with us. We would be in school together, go out together, share a room, help each other and everything. What I want people to understand about this story is that things happen for a reason even if we don’t know the reason just yet.
