That's Fine
You are an alcoholic and drug addict
That's fine, I'm glad you got help
You are getting divorced
That's fine because even though I'm six I know all marriages don't work
You are having my dad and I move into my Aunt's house
That's fine, I love playing with my cousin
You say it's too expensive to raise a family here
That's fine I understand money is tight
You want to move to Tennessee
That's fine, I remember our last vacation when we visited there
You don't get a job when you move
That's fine, I know you want to spend plenty of time with my little sister
You have three kids in two years
That's fine I know you always wanted your kids to be close in age (I guess that didn't happen when my sister and I were 10 years apart)
You say the family would be complete if I was with you
That's fine because I was the one who left
You say you're always there for me
but...
Where were you when I needed help with my school work, help looking for my first homecoming dress, help searching for colleges, where were you when I just needed a hug?
But, it's fine.
She was there when I needed someone and she was more than willing
I am who I am because she raised me
(Thank you to the best Auntie in the world!)
