As the days turned into weeks, Ma was getting worse. I didn't know how to help her. Even with a job we didn't have enough money to pay for medical bills or just bills in general. It was hard just to keep the heat in in the house. I couldn't help her like I wanted to and it's hard to see her like this.
I still thought about my brother and sister everyday. I still thought about Naomi everyday. As much as I miss my family, I was angry at them. I was angry that they didn't come with me. Ma needed them now more then ever. I needed them. I guess that rather stay with ol man then here with Ma.
I know Ma felt guilty for leaving. Jades birthday was coming up and that was gonna be a hard day for Ma. We had to get out of there before Pop hurt her anymore. I couldn't sit there and watch him hurt her anymore. I couldn't do it any longer. I know if I did, i would have felt so guilty. Now I feel guilty for leaving my siblings behind, but they made their choice.
I went over to Ma, handing her blankets to her warm. The fevers were getting worse and more frequent. We could barely get enough money for food. Living expenses here are far too high for a minimum wage job. "I love you, Tommy" She spoke, her voice week but sweet. "I love you too, Ma" I said, kissing her head and holding her hand to comfort her. I try to take care of her as much as I can but at this point, I could only do so much.
