Three years. Three whole years of Raising Kiara.
I can't believe it. It feels like just yesterday I was packing up my shit to do a runner after seeing those two lines on all those tests I'd taken.
I feel like after a successful three plus years on the run, I can finally start to breathe a little.
I think I've done it.
Found a safe place for us to settle.
I'm even considering enrolling her in nursery now so she can be a normal kid with lots of friends her own age.
She's a friendly ball of sunshine with a heart of gold and she already speaks two languages; brilliantly for her age might I add.
She'd do amazing in school I know it.
And once I start her there I could even think about enrolling her in some sort of dance class which I know she'd adore.
The moment she started dancing in front of that television she never stopped. And it isn't even something I've forced upon her, I haven't a graceful, smooth bone in my body.
My legs are made for kicking and my fists made for punching.
I have so much faith that I bought her ballet slippers, tap shoes and mini ballroom heels, just to give her the option, alongside matching costumes.
I cannot wait to see her reaction once I find a place for her.
And of course, only the best place for my raggio di sole.
(Sunshine)I have some research to do...
The theme of todays party is the lion king at last.
Kiara begged for a 'dada' themed party since it's her 'favourite film' but that would be downright cruel of me.
So I went with the second best option which she was still utterly in love with.
She had Simba balloons and a Zazu piñata and we sung and danced to the songs while eating jelly worms all day long with the usual appearances from the only friends we have.
You'd disagree but I really think things are turning out for the best for us.
-Lucia and Kiara.
