Family Ties

Wrapping Up '98

Three months Later...

Roberta's POV

Sooo guess who has been home for two in a half months ?! That's right this girl right here . So i came home towards the middle of September . It would've been sooner but i had a allergy attack and it interfered with my breathing rather my asthma and i had to stay longer ....

Flashback....
September 18, 1998

As i put on my clothes and do my hair i cannot believe that i am getting out of here . Hahaha I'm over talking like I'm getting out of jail or something . I felt  like it though . I've been away from my babies for far too long.  They have been up here and have called rather Lyn would have mike call me . Like we would end the conversation and i would tell Lyn i love her and she would tell me she love me more and i would tell her i love her most and she would say nuh uh !! Typical Lyn and i conversation . We hang up and mike would call back and say she started crying . So Lyn and i have talked the most haha. I didn't tell nobody.  I had everybody in on the plan ... to take me home and not say nothing to nobody . So as my security detail are waiting for me outside my door i am getting heat flashes but this time its from excitement . I don't want to ever be away from my family for this long ever again . Oh and my American Beauties have been nothing but the best . Half of my room was covered in flowers and cards and teddy bears that is going in the kids room and more cards and flowers. I might make a area in the house just for them.  I've received a lot of fanmail . Some are from this new generation who parents grew up with me and they expressed how they feel about me and i was in tears reading them because this is what i live for.  To be here for soo many generations that come after me. To be a role model for not just my children but for somebody else children or child.  I had soo many role models and i would happily be somebody's role model.  So back to me leaving. We are exiting through the kitchen of the hospital. I am now on the SUV  and  getting so exciting from just  from the fact that i am going home. That's all that matters is that I'm going home . About 45 min. later i am walking in the house and surprisingly i hear noise.  I thought everybody would be gone . I followed the noise in the family room and my kiddies are minding their own business . Lyn is playing in her doll house and Rilley is in his swing chilling and mike is looking through a photo album ... my family ... 

Me: Look at my family .

Mike turned around ever so slowly and just stared as if he saw a ghost . Lyn stood up and ran to me crying which made her brother start crying ... sigh ... i missed this . I picked up my little girl and kissed her all over .

Me: mommy's home baby don't cry . I'm home now .

Lyn: I've missed you !!

Me: and mommy missed you more. Hey baby boy . Don't cry .

I unstrapped him out of his swing and picked him up with Lyn still in my arms. I kissed his chubby cheeks and calmed him down . I looked at mike who just embraced all of us.  Its soo good to be home . All is well

Flashback ends...

That's something that is still fresh on my brain even after two months .  Like even with me being back on schedule with my work and being a mother i really missed this more than anything . So its almost thanksgivung in a few more days and this year we are having it at my house in ecino . Ive never had a big holiday celebration there.  So ive asked my mom to decorate my lower level of my house for the holidays . Man '98 is going by really fast . Soo much has happen , the girls are working on their third in studio album  , I had my son , mike wrapped up his huge HIStory tour , my sickness, Maleigha having her fourth child , Micah having her second child  . Just soo much . Next month is the last month of 1998  and its a moment to look back and say wow . We did all of that in one year ?! Right now i am in the middle of a fitting for new Chanel clothing.  The launch show is after thanksgiving and I'm super excited . The show is in my hometown which probably why I'm soo excited . I haven't been home since '97 .  So this should be good . I have been running around since earlier this morning . Tonight we are heading to Malibu to celebrate my niece birthday. She is turning 6 years old and she is having a pastry party . Time really do fly by . Before i know it my big girl will be turning six and is going to want to do some pretty cool things for her birthday  . Mike had a performance last night . The AMA'S welcomed him home again and he took home another award for HIStory book 1 . He should be home by now if not then he is at Havenhurst which is where i'll be heading when I'm done . This will be the first time I'm going there since me being in the hospital . Gosh I've missed out on soo much and now I'm playing catch up ... sheesh
