I remember when I was happy, when I had my dignity, when I was Loved.
But that, is history, let's revisit the good times.

9 years ago.....
Hi! I'm Milani Baker, I'm 8 years old! I live with my Mommy and Daddy! I have a lot of friends, and I all love them very much!
I also love mommy and daddy! Mommy works hard! She has a very bad job, daddy says she doesn't get paid that much! But I know my mom is a fighter! She is the best!
My daddy is always happy! He gives the best hugs and kisses! He always supports our family! I hope things will never change!
"Milani, Daddy is going out to the store, I'll be back soon!" Daddy yells across the room. "Okay daddy! I love you!" I run up to daddy and hug him tight! "I love you to pancake." He kisses my head and walks out the door. A few minutes later, it starts to rain and thunder. I get scared, I HATE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING! It's so scary!! *Flash*.......*BOOM* "EEK!" I squeal and run over to mommy sitting by the fire. "Shh, it's okay baby girl" she hugs me close and starts to rub my light brown hair. Mommy started to sing my favorite song to me, I love when mommy sings it!
"Silent night, Holy night, all is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin, mother and child. Holy infant, so, tender and mild.
Sleep in Heavenly, peace. Sleep in Heavenly...
Peace" I start yawning, then I start to drift to sleep on mommy's lap. "Good night, Baby Girl" she kisses my head and I fall asleep in her arms.
The next day
I wake up in my little bed and mommy is not her with me anymore. I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. I turn on the music to my toothbrush. Baby baby baby, ohh like, baby, baby, baby, nooo like, baby baby baby, ohh like, thought you'd always be mine,mine.
I love Justin Bieber, he is so cute!
I finish brushing my teeth and turn the music off. I walk down the stairs to see mommy already ready to go. "Sorry I couldn't eat with you today baby girl, but I have a surprise for you for during great this school year! A puppy!"
Mommy was happy! "A puppy!? YAYY, PUPPY PUPPY, PUP-PY, PUPPY, PUPPY, PUP-PY" I was happy too! "Ok my 2 babies, love you! Have a good last day of school Milani!" Mommy kissed me on the forehead and dad on the lips, E-YUCK, and then closed the door. I walked over to the table and asked daddy what's for breakfast. "Pancakes and fruit! Just for you Pancake!" Daddy said rubbing my head. "Yay!" This is turning out to be the best day, EVER! "Don't forget the chocolate chips daddy! You said it's like my freckles!" I tapped Daddy on his back. "I won't Pancake!" he kept cooking the food.
Daddy calls me pancake because of my caramel skin that looks like a pancake, and my freckles look like chocolate chips! At least that's what daddy told me. Daddy says I'm the most beautiful girl in the world. He really likes my blue eyes, but I don't really like them, I don't look like the other kids. But Daddy says its good I don't look like the other kids, he said it makes me look extror-, extradairy- , extroodinary-, or what ever he said.
Daddy finally finished up the food and set it on the plate for me. It smells so yummy! "Eat up pancake!" I started to gobble it down to the last crumb then gobbled down my fruit. Daddy looked at me very surprised. "Wow, you might need to slow down next time pancake." he said still trying to finish up his food. "Okay daddy! Thank you for the breakfast today!" I ran over to daddy really fast and gave him a big big bear hug. "Your welcome pancake, now go keep getting ready for school" Daddy patted me on the back. I ran upstairs and took a shower then got dressed. Then I took my bag and ran down the stairs. I see the bus come up to my block. "I'll see you later daddy." I hugged daddy and ran out the door. He waved goodbye and closed the door. I got on the bus and saw a bunch of my friends sitting together. "Hey Kallie, Hey Denise, Hey Chloe, Hey Derek, Hey John, Hey- *I need to breathe* Hey Mia!" I say sitting next to Kallie. "Hey Milani!" They all say. "Aren't you excited about today? THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! Next year we will be in 3rd grade!" Kallie starts to shake me wildly. "But we have to take somethin called EOG's, like some big test!" Denise starts to whine. We all get really sad. "But we should get through this ya know, it can't be that hard." Derek starts to exclaim. "And???" John says smacking him in the back of the head. "Ouch! AND, I'm saying that it shouldn't be that hard." Derek says. "Hey, DONT judge a book by its cover" Chloe says looking over their heads. "Well, I guess your right." I say.
8 hours later
"See ya later guys!" I yell out to my friends and get off the bus. I walk in my house and see Daddy crying, he has a couple of bottles next to him. I run over to him, "Daddy what's wrong." He looks at me and his eyes are really red "Your mother is gone.." he tells me. "Where did she go Daddy?" I'm really confused. "Heaven" he says. The words finally hit me, Mommy is gone... and she's not coming back anytime soon. I start crying and I can't breathe, MOMMY IS GONE! I start to scream all of a sudden. I won't hear her sweet voice, her kind smile. She's gone.
Forever
Daddy starts to hug me tight, "It's okay baby girl." He whispers in my ear. That's what mommy called me.... "Daddy needs some time alone" He got up from my arms leaving me their crying on the ground he walked to his room and closed the door. I sat there and grabbed my doll from the table, held it close, and cried and sobbed for hours and hours.

I will never forget you mommy
