When I Let Go

Chapter three

[Moms childhood] Before.

-Interview-

I wasn't rich. I can say, when I was young. My mom worked two jobs to pay rent, feed me, car payments. All of that junk. Then she met my step dad. He wasn't rich but he had enough money to support his sons. Jake and Arron. My mom had fallen in love. They together had a lot of money. Enough for us to move from the apartments to a rich house in a rich neighborhood. I was seven. Jake was ten and Arron was eleven. So when my mom went to collage for nursing and my step dad Mike went to school to be a surgen. Together they made much more money to the point were they had money for a new home in a even richer neighborhood. I left my "friends" to make new ones. I only made friends with boys. But it was okay I had a few good friends who then left me for my brothers. When my brothers left for collage and I met Joe my husband and he came from a rich family. Together a Teacher and a Owner for a company. We had Luke. After that we had Jackson. He was such a cute baby Luke cried to much but Jackson slept till noon and went to be at eight and ate good. Luke was picky, Luke cried, Luke only ate if it was Apples, Luke only drank apple juice, Luke only slept on the couch. Did I mention he cried about everything.

Though my brothers were older they treated me like I was there age. They played House and Barbies with me and I played trucks and G.I Joes  with them. Being the only girl wasn't so bad. I got more clothes and toys for just myself. I had my own pink room. I remeber it. 

ROOM FLASHBACK:

SEVEN YEARS OF AGE: It was all pink, baby pink and the ceiling was hot pink. I had a princess bed. I had a giant toy bin, a walk in closet, a bathroom, and my floor was covered in toys. 

TEN YEARS OF AGE: I had changed the color, Purple. Lavender walls and ceiling and one wall was white. I had a purple polk-a-dot bedding. And now I had a desk and not as many toys. 

SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE: Green. All green. Now I had no toys more clothes and shoes a couch and a vanity. New desk and I had gotten a Green Laptop.

BACK TO INTERVEIW:

~Then I got older and became a teen when they were drving. I'd have them take me everywhere they didn't seem to mind. They later went to college then I was driving. Then I met Joe. And we fell in love. And had two childern. They are beautful I hope I never lose them. They are everything to me. It's like having two more Joes but younger and learning. I am so proud of Luke. And I am proud of Jackson. I am lucky to have them as my childern. I hope I am gone when they are laid to rest. Because I'd die if they're life endded shortly. Because I need a loving family. I couldn't bare seeing them suffer. That's the saddest moment in everyones life. I wish that I'd have a daugther of my own. I would love to spoil her as my parents did. I spoil my boys but I feel out numbered. It's very painful. But I love them to death and wouldn't trade them for the whole world. I'm glad that I didn't grow up poor. Because I started that way. It wasn't fun being laughed at. Cause we didn't have money. I relied on my mom and grandma to support me. I didn't have Dora like all my friends. I slept on a cot with a fur blanket and a wore out pillow with no case. It was like a death trap. I apreceate my step dad for taking us and loving us and helping us. It was nice sleeping on a read bed with a fat pillow and fuzzy blanket and a pillow case. It felt like luxary. All because my mom found the right person. And so did I.
