READING QUEST

     Having a couple of deaths in the family at the same time

can really affect someone emotions,especially for a child.

Sometimes, the death really made us realize how important

family is to us. Though we don't like to accept death, we all

know that one day it's going to come and we will not able

to get away from it either. Death is a type of thing that

doesn't care if a person young or old.There is no definite

time when a person will die.This is worst part of life,but we,

as humans have to accept the fate that it's going to come

after everyone.
