Ronald McDonald House Charities

This is a book about a Girl, but not just any girl. This girl has so much courage, strength and bravery. She was a loner and a loser in Elementary School, but she turned her life around in the right direction. She was cool, popular and a lot of guys wanted her. While she was still in High School, she applied for ten Universities and nine of the ten Universities accepted her, so she picked Wilfred Laurie. She finished High School and was planning her future at University, but everything fell apart just before she left…! Why, you ask; she never knew her life was already hanging downside up; then, she fell, hard…! And, everything she ever wanted died with herself… This is about Summer DeFreitas. She had it all, but she never knew her life was hanging on for dear LIFE... Why her.

A Beautiful Tragedy

At that very moment, everything stopped and everybody stopped for that matter. They shed a tear for Summer and went on, forward. They prayed for her and thought about her, but soon after they had to let her go. August 1st, 2004 was the worst day ever; she collapsed, went unconscious, slipped into a coma and actually, died. She had a blood-clot in her brain; a Massive Mycotic Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysm; caused by Strep Throat and then a stroke. Her brain ruptured and swelled and was in a coma for 5 weeks at Trillium Hospital. Then Neuro step down for 3 weeks.

Everybody came together, again to say one last fare well to Summer. A lot of people came to see her; hoping that she would somehow woke up, but still no response! But, one by one, they walked out of her life, because they could not bear the pain. Yes, she did actually died, but when everybody thought she would never come back from the dead, she actually did; 5 - 8 weeks later, surprisingly. Yes, the old person I used to be will never ever come back; not now, not ever but the new, scared, frighten person I am today is still here.
