EXCERPT
Roxy’s
POV
“Baby girl, I hope, someday, you’ll have it in your heart to
forgive me. I can’t undo what’s been done; it’s too late anyway. Life is full
of limitations and restrictions, but what I can give you is freedom from the hell
I’ve created. You’ll have a better life living it away from me…far away from
this.”
As
soon as I hear my door close, I know who to call. I’m tired of all the lies,
deception, and conditions. With a shaky voice and a hopeful heart, I call the
one person, the one family member, who loves me unconditionally.
“Uncle
Jack,” My hurt filled voice manages to say two words. That’s all I need to say.
His
confident voice never wavers, “I’ll be there, kiddo. You trust me?”
“One
hundred and ten percent,” I say with as much conviction as a child my age can
possibly conjure.
“Outstanding!
I’ll see you soon.”
At
such a young age, I lost trust, not
in love, but in people. How could I not? When the two I’ve grown up with webbed
a life full of deception, my own father put conditions on his love for me, my
own mother doesn’t want me, I lock my feelings tight, secure them with all of
my ten year old strength, and time it shut with my not-so-innocent-from-pain
heart, telling myself to never…ever let anyone in.
Not
even death can make me open it ever again.
Even
though my heart is in the state it’s in, a small part of my heart tells me that
when God closes a door, He
always…always opens a window; small enough to breathe…wide enough to escape…just
enough to live, and just the perfect
time to start. My new beginning is
with the only four people I know I can trust…with them I’m safe, loved, and
free. I’m free to be me. The love they offer is without restriction…it’s
genuine…it’s undeniable…it’s unmistakable.

About the author:
I’m a middle child, and no, I don’t suffer from the middle child syndrome. According to my parents, I’m the craziest, and I think, my husband and children agree with them.
Besides the births of my two children, my husband’s successful transplant is one of the most memorable moments of my crazy life! After dealing with two bouts of cancer, my husband served as an inspiration to me and my children. I’m privileged to be married and go on this crazy ride, we call life, with a man who doesn’t know the meaning of giving up.
I’m known as The Crazy Cat Lady, in the Wanted World. Am I crazy? Well, the jury is still out on that one, but I’d like to think I can make one person smile with my craziness.
