As the wind howled around me I just think about how much longer I have. My mother always said that you would have to face extreme obstacles in life, but she never said anything about this. Every step I take up this mountain I feel like I am getting farther from the top less than closer. I never liked hiking or climbing up things like this but my fiancé begged me to do this with him. “How are you doing honey?”,my fiancé, Ben, yells. “If it wasn’t 20 below I would be doing a lot better.”, I said out of breath. Nothing could beat this view though. Even though I was freezing and my hands were numb, the sunset was so beautiful.
