Age 8
Mommy and Daddy came to live with us!
So did my sisters.
Our house was crowded, but I was still happy.
When I saw mommy her beautiful blonde hair was brown, and her bright smile was darker.
Daddys Red hair started to turn gray, and long.
They weren’t the same, but I missed them so much when they were gone.
“Mommy, Daddy!” I screamed when they first came in the door, and ran over.
My dad looked down at me.
“Hey Kiddo.”
My mom nodded, and they walked away.
What changed?
Why didn’t they pick me up anymore?
Beth, and Sally came over to tell me the adventures they had, and the friends they made.
I heard my gramma say to my parents
“You have some nerve coming here after what you did to these poor kids. I’ll let you stay, but if you mess this up you two are out of here.”
I hugged me teddy bear tight, I didn’t want him to feel alone and scared like I did.
