The Happiest Moment of My Life.

The happiest moment in my life was when my sister told me exciting news I never expected.

The most happiest moment in my life is when my older sister told me she was pregnant. It was such an exciting and happy moment for me because my sister has never had any kids. It has been 10 years since my sister and her husband have gotten married and it took them awhile to announce they were having a baby.

When she first told me I felt special because I was the first person they told, they even told me before they told their friends and our family. It was two days after I arrived to visit them in North Carolina. It was hard trying to keep it a secret from the rest of our family but I managed to wait until my sister told the rest. My unborn niece or nephew is what keeps me going everyday and gives me a reason to keep trying. I can´t wait to meet him/her.
