Finding my way to you ❤️

Last fall

Last fall was a terrible time in my life. Definitely not because of the season I love seeing the leaves change colors and feeling the breeze. But around that time we had also experienced COVID. Which wasn't terrible for me I only had a couple of nose bleeds. My dad said it felt like he had a cold. My mother was very sick though. I only went 3 days to school before she was committed to the hospital, and she couldn't have any visitors.

Which was very hard. For us. My father and I were still isolated in the house for having a couple of more days to be quarantined. Which made things worse. That night my father dashed into my room, his face was red and he was breathing heavily. "Gracie. I don't know what to do. But your mother Is in Icu. I'm so sorry" He cried, and cried. I had no idea what to say. I called my bestfriend that night. Until I could calm myself down not knowing what Gods next move would be. She ended up having to be paralyzed. In a medically induced coma and on a ventilator for 1 month. Which was the worst for us. My aunt came to stay with us for awhile, we would get to video chat her each day even though she couldn't talk back, we had a feeling she could hear us. It felt much nicer having some company. We kept ourselves very busy during that time to get ourselves sane. Not thinking about her not being around or at least trying not to.

But let me get straight to the point. My mom healed within around 6 months when she got out. But I was talking to boys to keep my mind distracted. Which doesn't sound good I know. But Austin was one of those boys. He was the one who seemed like he had some common sense, and talked like he knew how to speak english. We started texting and talking on the phone alllll the time. Damn could that man make me laugh. He brought something out of me. And that was happiness which felt amazing. Eventually one night I met my sister in law. How it all started with just one word. "Are you going to be my new sister" I hear her say on the other end of the phone. That night changed everything. He told me his feelings that night. I didn't get with him right away, because I still didn't feel like I was in the best mindset to be with him, but also I was scared of committing to him. But obviously a few days later I forgot all about that. I said yes to him. We started talking even more more and I grew a stronger connection with him.
