The kids were back home from their weekend visit at there grandparents
Stef decided to cook out on the grill
Since it was such a nice out. There was chicken, turkey burgers and hot dogs. On the grill, l made a salad with lettuce, cumbers, shedded carrots, and broccoli. Fruit salad which Nivia and Braylon loved, we rarely cook out
Like this. I think this what we'll be doing in the summer time, my parents didn't stay long cause mom has worked tomorrow. Dad's going golfing
I wished I could just at home tomorrow and forget the world
But we had bills to pay, and couldn't let them piled up. We were responsible adults, That had a house hole to run. Nivia was clingy when she got home, she didn't let me out her sight. It didn't bother Braylon as much
Being away from us, cause when he was a baby. He spent time with my mother and father, Nivia was our sensitive baby. Any wrong thing you said to her, she takes it to heart
I remembered being Nyla's age having to leave the foster home that I was in
Because the people that took me in
Had a older daughter. Who had a lot of health issues, and they couldn't give me the attention l needed
I always thought l did something wrong, the next home l went to
I didn't talk. The kids at school were mean to me and called me names
The Johnson's had a son that was a couple years older than me, he would torture me when they weren't around
There son would lock me up in the closet. For hours, and beat me with belts, rules. I never told anyone what happened, all the homes l was place in. I experienced physical and emotional abuse. The day I met my forever family, they made a huge difference in my life. I was scared to talk for months, Stef came inside to tell me everything was ready. She tapped me on the shoulder, sorry baby what did you say? Didn't you hear anything l just said she asked me
I was deep in thought l replied. All the meat is done cooking, Stef says
Okay l'll bring the rolls and salads out
You can get the paper plates Lena tells Stef.
