Sorry it took a couple days for me to get back. I've been busy. Like I said, I'm still in school. But that's beside the point.
I told you before that I'd be starting my story of when everything changed. Ya I know it sounds all dramatic, but it's true. I'm not here to just make up stories, this is my life.
Since I was 8 years old, I had been doing gymnastics. I loved it and lived for it. It was the best part of my life. The only thing I didn't like was that I didn't have time to do anything else. Ever. So one day in the middle of a hot summer, I was waking up at 7 to get ready for my morning practice and I decided I wanted to take a day off for once. So I begged my mom to let me go to the public pool with my sister that day instead. At this time she was watching a child of a friend of her's. She reluctantly agreed to my pleading and she drove my sister and I to the pool. She said we could stay for a couple hours then she would be back here to pick us up. After a few hours I was ready to go and i couldn't get a hold of my mom. So we called our next door neighbor and she told us that our mom was very busy and she couldn't come pick us up and that she would instead. So when she got there she told us something bad had happened, but she wouldn't tell us exactly what it was. So when we pulled down our street I could see all police cars and the ambulance and the fire truck. Being 10 years old, that can be a pretty scary sight. So I was freaking out trying to guess what had happened. I was told that my mom was fine...but the child wasn't.
She had fallen into our pool. I'm sure you can guess the rest of the details, but after that my mother was blamed. She couldn't walk, eat, or talk for weeks. She would just sit in bed. I've been having to deal with court and crap like that for years now and things just kept getting worse.
I'm not going to give any more details away, but I'll let your logic figure it out.
But really. That's the day everything change. Depressed mother, sad and scared children and years and years of court. I hope and pray all the time that children won't have to face what I did at such a young age. I know that there are horrific things in the world, but I hope that children don't have to face them.
So that's part one of my life story...ha.
On a lighter note...school's almost out! I'm really excited for that :)
