Get well soon aunty!

After church on Sunday the 30th of October, most of my uncles, aunties, cousins, sisters, nephews, mum, dad and I went to the Auckland Hospital because my aunty was in hospital. We all went to the hospital in our vans and cars that belonged to my uncle, dad or my cousin. All of my cousins and I were really excited to see Malieta because we don't really like staying at home because it feels weird without her.


As soon as my dad parked the car at the drop off area, my mum was the first one to get out to go in the elevator while the rest of us had to wait for my dad because he went away and parked the car.  I was excited to go but I was scared to go by myself just in case someone comes and takes me away. After my dad parked  the van, we all went to the elevator so we could go up to level seven. Then we got to level seven and we all went  up to Malieta to give her a kiss  on the cheek. After that, my sister and I left to go to  the whanau room because it was a bit crowded in Malieta's  room.


After a while, my cousins arrived with my uncle. I was really excited to see them because my sisters and I were feeling a bit lonely in the whanau room . When we were waiting for other to arrive, w munched on  some chips that my mum had brought for us. My cousins and I were sitting next to the vending machine because the television didn't work in the whanau room. We were all shocked when my cousin told us that my aunty was going to die but my uncle tapped her chest and she started to breathe again. I was about to cry with the others because it would be very sad for everyone if she did pass away.


Soon we saw my uncle and Aunty walking pass us and we all said, "Hi aunty and uncle." We also kept sitting next to the vending machine until my cousin that we should go live on her phone so we could talk to my cousin who was also online because it was very boring. While they were chatting, I went to check on my Aunty incase she needed something. She didn't need anything because she was busy talking to my uncles and aunties.


A while later,  it was time for us to go because it was nearly night time. The nurse came and told us that it time for my aunty to get some sleep because she has dialysis the next morning. My aunty didn't want to sleep because she was happily talking and laughing about the good news with my aunties and uncles. We all gave a kiss to my aunty and said, "Goodbye, we will see you tomorrow after school."


It was a good day visiting my aunty because my aunty  was happy and excited to see her big family.
