Jashae stared at the email in shock "I don't think I can do this Ray, what if it's a scam? I mean they could be psychos" she mumbled to her best friend who had got her into this mess.
"I'm sorry Shay but this might be the only way you'll make that...

"Mama P when's my mommy coming back from the spital?" 5 year old Jashae asked her grandmother.
Patricias heart broke for her only grandchild the truth was Jamila had passed away at the hospital hours ago Jashae being the one who found her was smart enough to dial 911 but it was too late.
The older woman didn't have the strength to explain Jamila wasn't returning so she avoided the question.
"I'm not sure baby girl but hey how about we go outside and see if Miss. Linda's grandbaby Ray wants to come out and play hopscotch with you?" The woman smiled at the girls huge grin and vigorous head shaking.
The two headed next door to Linda's she was a long time friend and neighbor to the Hill family as soon as she seen Patricia and Jashae she hugged them tightly.
"I'm so so sooo sorry Patty I can't even imagine" a clueless Jashae watched her grandmother break down in Miss. Linda's arms papa Jackson came rushing over from his car.
"Ray, you and Shay go play by the side of the house while the adults talk"
7 year old Raynell hopped off the porch and ran towards her friend the two usually only saw each other during the summer or holidays so both girls were more than eager to play.
Hours later the Hill family were back home eating dinner when Jackson decided to break the news to his granddaughter. "Baby girl me and mama gotta tell you something. Your mom-" The older mans voice cracked as bad as they bickered with Jamila, Jackson and Patricia loved their daughter dearly.
The child had never seen her grandmother cry so much and this would be the first time she'd ever seen her grandfather shed tears. Something was terribly wrong but her young mind couldn't process it yet.
"Your mom's not coming back Shay she's in heaven now with the angels. God called her home early but she'll always be right here" Jackson pointed to her heart hoping she'd somewhat understand.
"Can God call her back for me? I wanna see her" The 5 year old pouted
"No Shay it doesn't work like that but you can always pray and speak to her. It's getting late baby time to wash up and get ready for bed" Patricia spoke not wanting to overwhelm the girl or her husband any further.
"Yes ma'am" Jashae did as told the day had been strange and eventful so she was out like a light soon after her bath.
Patricia and Jackson watched her sleep peacefully from the doorway neither one knew how'd they explain Jamila's funeral or the fact that she'd be living with them indefinitely to her. This was all so much for everyone involved they just knew they'd try to be the best grandparents they could be it's what Jamila would've wanted.
