Hello my name is Kyle Partridge I'm 16 I've been adopted since I was little I grew up with the people i called my mom and dad they adopted me before I was 2 I never knew my real parents to be honest I did wonder at times who they were why they did what they did but I would just wipe it off my shoulders I was a bad kid I hung around the wrong people I got into fighting I grew up in being the only white kid in my school I felt so out of place I would always be at my mom and dad's I was always disobedient I didn't grow up in a church I only went to churches Vbs's I never really thought about who he was I always thought that I was 1st but time when on to the age of 10 my mom was digoniset with cancer my dad was taking her to get treatments one time they went and they were about to leave and my dad had a heart attract they brought him back and he had another one they brought him back again then he had his last one they said he was gone they were taking him to the morg and he came back and what he told us would start a fire in finding out who this God is my dad shared that last time he had a heart attack he walked in hell and he walked in heaven each place there was a hand on his shoulder but he could not turn to see he looked down at his feet and he was whole then he said the hand on his shoulder lifted up and he was told that it was not his time to go then when I was 11 in September 3rd 2009 my mom passed away I when to a church camp after that I was just hurt I could not grasp that fact we were there for a week and I remember it was that Thursday that night would change my worlds heart and my life i became freinds with the pastors there that Thursday night at the alter call I gave it all to him it was not just me but this huge group of kids that accepted him as our Lord and Savior I was finially proud of what I had done and I new that my mom was happy later on in 2010 September the 23 I lost my dad in an rv wrack I just wanted to die when they told me he passed away I just turned away from my family and kept to myself I got to the point where I got selfish I was thinking of ending my life but then something or someone showed me that I would hurt the people around me because they loved me so I gave it to God again I went on in life til November 22 2013 when my uncle who was a preacher passed away he took me under his wing and raised me like a grandson he's the only grandfather figure I had in my life I just asked God why he took him away from me he was more then a uncle pastor he was my best friend I got to thinking that if heaven was as wonderful as people say then why do I want to drag him back to this World other people that knew him and I agree whit them if no one ever makes it to heaven he will make it to heaven there are people that were waiting for him at the gates but I can hear him saying hold on let me go and praise my Jesus then in January 9 2014 I lost a cousin that I grew close we had nicknames for each other he called me hoss and he was hachet it hit me hard when I heard he passed away I went into slince but then I remembered that he's better he died of cancer but When God took away my mom and dad he gave me the ability to write poems and that's how I relieved my pain I learned that life can be taken away at the blink of the eye but I've learned to cling to the cross that Jesus died on and cast my sin onto it and that's why I am second.
