…its a public graveyard, you’re allowed to be here…I don’t mind. I’m not really ok. I’m just existing. I’ve had plenty of space lately, you’re fine.  Shes my daughter. I buried her here alone with Al. I’m still recovering. Dion, the father wasn’t even there. He was too busy hating me.

I’d been with him since i was 18. Not willingly. He kidnapped me and got into my head. Smashed me to pieces and left me in the gutter when he was done. I loathe the man. He isn’t capable of loving anyone. I’ll never trust a relationship again. I just don’t want to hurt anymore.

I didn’t come from a good past. I just want to be sitting on a beach, watching my kids running around playing. For them to be happy. I hope they’re happy. So I’d love to be sitting there, watching them with their foster family. Happy. I hope I made the right choice.
