May 1, 2019 / Wednesday

Seeing Geo made my heart warm. He looks just like my brother when he was little. He so little and cute. I wish I was in his life from the start. But I had to do what was best for him. Giving him up to someone who can give him a better chance at life, and better love. He deserves that by all means.
I love how Delilah is so gentle & loving to the boys!!!

"Why do you look so familiar??" Delilah asked looking all in my face but I didn't mind

"Well you probably don't remember me but like a couple years ago when you was in that bad accident. I was the one who save you and your baby boy before the car exploded..." I said reminding her

She looked out into space.

"You right, I kind of remember you now..." she said looking at me
"Oh and Thank you so much..." she said smiling very nice smile

"No problem..." I said smiling
"Not to be in your business but I am super nosy so what happened that night because you looked very beat up..." I said trying not to be so blunt but that just how I am

"Very blunt I see..." she said laughing a lil

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked..." I said feeling stupid

"No, it's okay but that night my boyfriend at the time and I were out and guys started becoming fond of me because I was dancing with my home girls. But I wasn't paying the men no mind because I had a boyfriend. Everything was cool with my boyfriend and I, that was until we got home. We was arguing then next thing you know he become very mad and started hitting, stomping, choking and kicking on me. Then he hit Rhys and I couldn't take it anymore so I busted a vase over his head which knocked him out. I got out but my vision was so off, I really couldn't see anything then a car smashed into us..." she said with a straight face that held no emotions of any kind, she talked looking out in space

"I'm so sorry that happened to you..." I said very sincere

"It's alright but what's your story?? Why did you give up Geo??" She asked looking very interested in the story I was finna tell

"Well, I was homeless and I became a drug addict and I was getting drugs from this man name Tobias..." I said starting my story

"Tobias Wright??" She asked looking at me as I nodded
"That's the same person who beat me..." she said looking at me

We both had surprised expressions on our face because Tobias no good for real!!

"Continue..." she said with her hand under her chin

"Okay, so I got drugs from him and he told me to pay him back at a specific date but I didn't have all the cash..." I said as a felt myself finna cry
"Ummm S-so when I told him I didn't have all the cash he had a man beat me and rap- he raped me..." I said as my voice cracked

"You don't have to continue..." she said moving in front of me on the floor in the crisscross applesauce position

"I have to..." I said as I took 3 deep breaths getting myself together

I just had a feeling that I owe her an explanation to why I did what I did.

"9 1/2 months later I had Geo. Don't get me wrong I was so in love with Geo, well I'm still is. He is so perfect to me. But I couldn't take care of him the way he needed to be taken care of. For the 6 months I was staying in a shelter with Geo but I knew I couldn't keep him in that position I was in..." I said as tears came down my face

I felt Delilah grabbed my hand & leg rubbing them letting me know everything was okay

"I thought about giving Geo to a family member but I remember how they treated me so I didn't wanna take them chances so I gave him to a stranger. That night I gave him to you I promised myself I was going to do better. I was going to get healthy, and get off the drugs and I did but it took a while..." I said breaking down as Delilah pulling me to the floor with her letting me cry on her chest
"I've been out of Geo's life for 4 years and I just wanna be a part of my son's life..." I said wiping tears but they kept coming

"You still can be part of your son's life..." she said rocking back and forth

It went silent for a while as she rocked me like a baby.
I broke the silence

"I'm so grateful for you because without you I don't know who my son would be, so I wanna say Thank you..." I said raising up looking at her wiping my face

"You are definitely welcome..." she said with that beautiful smile

I felt a huge weight was lifted off my shoulder. Talking about things are so therapeutic and freeing❗️

"I didn't mean to be messing up your clothes with all this crying and shit. It just I missed too much in Geo' s life..." I said looking at her

"It's okay but just think about the other things you can celebrate throughout his life, think positive..."she said truthfully

She's right I should stop thinking negatively

"Can you tell me about him??" I asked getting in crisscross applesauce position in front of her

"Sure, well when he first meet you he can sometimes come off as rude but it just him, because he is so overprotective. He love to dance and sing. He can never stay on one topic for too long. He loves ice cream. He's so smart. He's a good listener. He is very very random. He love watching tv. He has a very free spirit. He has a bubbly personality. He's nice to certain people. He deeply cares for the people he love..." she said explaining Geo as I listened

He has some traits I have.

"He sounds a lot like me..." I said smiling at the thought of being around Geo more often

We talked for another hour, getting to know each other & talked more about the boys. I think we can be become good friends.

"Well I should get going, I have a photoshoot at 11..." I said getting up off the floor before helping her up

We walked to the door, I opened the door, stepped out then I turned back around.

"I look forward to spending time with you and the boys..." I said smiling

"We are supposed to be having a fun day Friday. If you will like to join just let me know..." she said smiling

"I would love to but can I get your number so we can stay in contact..." I said looking at her as she nodded

She grabbed my hand, then grabbed a pen off the table beside the door, then she wrote her number on my hand.

"Thanks..." I said as we hugged

I walked off getting in my car, started it and pulled off as she closed the door

Today went way better then expected!!!!!
Lord I miss Geo, him sooo handsome, precious & smart!!!
