A daddy's girl – gone for the night - to a pajama party. Little did she know – her life would be forever altered. Cars and people everywhere – who are all of these people, why are they at my house so early on a Saturday morning? questions she asked herself as she arrived home from the pajama party. Little did she know just hours before her life had been forever altered.
She was told daddy is in heaven, mama is in the hospital – the life she had lived the past 12 years… was forever altered. As her young heart unraveled so did her life, her daddy had been killed and her mother was in a coma. It was an accident… a boating accident. She was taken to live with her grandparents who she didn't know that well – the grandmother was dying…
surrounded by death at the age of 12- forever altered.
Confused, angry, sad, broken… she tried to find her place. security- like she had before - there was none to be found.. day after day her mother laid in a comatose state, her daddy was buried, her grandmother laid dying- it was she and her brother left in this world that was forever altered.
The doctors played God – her mother lives today- forever altered - a lobotomy – the front lobe – she would never be more than a 9 year old; learning to walk, talk and function again…. not remembering the accident… not understanding her life – not capable of parenting the two children she had…. State of confusion….. forever altered.
Brother and sister – in a world unknown – grandmother past and mom came to live with she and her brother at the grandfather she barely knew… living forever altered…..
(3 years later)
My girls and I moved to a new house on the lake – we met our new neighbors… by now she was 15, her brother was gone to live with the parents of his father, she became my 3rd child and our lived have been forever altered.
