His quiet softness brings her comfort. Walking into her life with his single suitcase rolling behind him, flushing out the darkness that is her existence. You really are my sunshine, my secret love.
Both of them were the only children in their hou...
"Hold on!" My mom screamed, "Don't let go! Please God, don't take them from me."
I could hear my mother's cries above the others wailing in torment. I couldn't see her till she wiped the blood from my face. I gasped at the horror before me. This nightmare had been all too real.
No one should have to go through life reliving such a fate. Cold, wet, shaking in so much fear your teeth feel like they may crack and fall out. An unknown monster howling, screaming, and clawing at your skin ready to take your breath and those you hold most dear. The weight of the clouds about to burst and drown you in fear and loss. This was the nightmare that I relived almost every night and the only thing keeping me sane is hanging on to a dear human until the nightmare passes.
My mother would stroke my back telling me pretty things till the fear subsided.
"The rain can't hurt you my pretty flower. It falls from the sky to kiss your cheeks and help you grow. The sun waits for his chance to do the same."
She would lean over and cup my face, placing soft kisses over every inch.
Losing your father is a very difficult thing for a small child. My father saved my life once and my mother saves me every day. Saves me from drowning in my own fear. I may look happy now, so you wouldn't know how I suffer every night. How my anxiety overwhelms me at times that no pill except love can save me. Things are getting better for us so I am hopeful.
I have a new family. My mom has found love again. She is a lovely person that deserves to be happy and I want to be just like her. As for me, I am delighted with my new father. He is kind and loving with an understanding heart. He can never replace the love I have for my daddy but I am very glad he is in our life. I have a new brother too. He is coming to live with us pretty soon my mom tells me. I can't wait to see him again. He is staying with his grandma for now but soon we will be living together and going to school together.
My name is Jinny and this is my story. My father paid with his life to save mine.

Today is Sunday and my new brother Yoongi is coming to live with us. He is going to start going to my school tomorrow and I can't wait to introduce him to my friends. He is very quiet but I think that might be because he doesn't know me that well. I want him to feel welcome so he will be happy here. Like me, he also lost a parent and that changes a person. I hope we can grow close like real siblings.
"He's here!" I announced as soon as I saw a car pull up in front of the house. I had been staring out the window waiting for him anxiously.
Yoongi walked up the path to our little house pulling his big suitcase behind him. When I opened the door he flashed me a sweet smile.
"Welcome!" We said to him.
"This is your home now. Why don't you take a look around while I get dinner ready?"
