"Ooh.....yayy!!" Amerie clapped in glee in my arms.
I was already in awe of the beautiful house when we pulled up, but the tree......!
Wow......
I put Amerie down and she stumbled to the large tree in the corner of the living room. I took in the interior of this whole house, it was in a gated community and the very last one on the block. Josh told me that he wanna spend some time alone with me and Amerie, of course I said yes. I just didn't expect this.....
It's been a pretty amazing few months with him and I like being around Josh, Amerie loves it. The one thing that stands out to me the most about Joshua, is how much effort and heart he puts into caring for my daughter and me. The times he gives Amerie......just to give her the attention that a father gives his daughter....Amerie loves it!
She never had it.....I never had it.....Josh didn't have it.....
I looked around again, this house looked a lil too homey, instead of just a rental. I lived in the projects, my mom did what she could and it got harder when she had the stroke. It ain't easy to live on a fixed income. I let out a breath and looked at Amerie, fingering a Barbie ornament.
"Ooh....look, mama....!" She gave me her wide grin.
Amerie
(Halima daughter)I walked to her, getting on my haunches next to my daughter. I touched the actual branches and looked at her. "It's pretty, huh...?"
"Dollies....." She looked at a doll in awe.
"We gotta make sure to say....thank you, Josh...." She gave me an even wider smile and bounced on her feet.
"Yes!!"
In the 7 months that I've been with Joshua.....I dunno what to say about it. It's different from any of the guys I've been with, it's different from the life I lived with my mom.....Josh walked in with our suitcases.
