As Samantha's eyes opened slowly the bright sunlight shined in from her window. It was Saturday morning; she had to be up by nine o"clock a.m. to go to help her mother at her bakery down the street. Samantha is seventeen years old and has never worked a day in her life, but her father was recently fired from his job and her mother's bakery wasn't getting much business anymore. Her mother was forced to fire her helper, so Samantha volunteered to help her mother work at the bakery.
Samantha has always been such a warm-hearted person, ready to help out anytime she can. She comes from a very loving family, in which she cherishes with all of her heart. She is close with her parents, especially her mother. When she arrived at the bakery her mother greeted her at the door with a warm hug. Her mother appreciates her help and she loves her daughter with a very deep love.
They work together making doughnuts and other cakes until five o"clock. Samantha has to leave soon so she would have time to get ready for her date. As she was getting ready to leave she noticed how weak her mother seemed. She asked if there was anything wrong, but her mother replied that she was only worn out from a long day of baking. Samantha smiled and agreed with her mother. After giving her mother a good-bye hug, Samantha went home to get cleaned up.
A month later Samantha arrived home from school a little early, and her mother wasn't expecting her home so soon. Samantha found her mother in the bathroom floor crying. She had been trying to hide her pain from Samantha for over a month now, because she didn't want to worry her. Samantha made her mother promise to go to the doctor first thing in the morning. .
As soon as Samantha's parents arrived home from the doctor, Samantha comes downstairs to see what the doctor said about her mother's weakness and pain. Her father and mother seemed to be a little worried. "The doctor told me it didn't seem to be anything serious, but he took my blood for tests to make sure", said her mother.
