The Untold Story of A Single Mother

Chapter Twenty-Three

Me: Thanks, how did you find me?

Ty: Your da; well our dad told me you would probably come out here to visit your mom.

Me: She takes my mind off a lot of things and what I'm dealing with now, I just wish she was here.

Ty: Look Nat, I'm so...

Me: No let me talk first (cutting him off) I'm the one who should be apologizing, I just couldn't believe he kept this a secret for so long. I wasn't mad at you, I was mad at him for just up and leaving and not being there for you like he has been there for me. I'm finding out something new every day and it's a little hard for me to take it all in at once. I should've stayed and tried to talk this out a little better instead of snapping and power walking off with anger.

Ty: Wow that was a mouth full.

Me: Apology accepted?

Ty: Yeah sis

It felt weird to hear him calling me his sister but I had to get used to it.

Me: (I laugh) that's different.

We made our way down the hill just talking and laughing about crazy stuff, although it felt weird having a older brother, there were still some things that were unanswered about Ty and his mom and I was anxious to know more. I know he had questions for me and I didn't mind if he wanted to know, I was an open book to a certain level. My babies would have an uncle to be around and that made me happy inside. We hugged, got into our cars and went our separate ways.
