'My dear child,
I know you had your doubts about your birth. I couldn't tell you while I was alive so I left you this letter. Your real parents live in...'
I stared at the unfinished letter in shock. How was I supposed to find my true identity?Why couldn't you tell me when you were here? Why couldn't you of helped me instead of leaving me here alone.? ......
Your real parents live in L.A. California. I'm not sure if they are still together,because they did not keep in touch with me over the years.
I know you probably don't understand why I did not tell you sooner, but I did it for you.I didn't want to disrupt your life. I am your mom. I raised you.. I loved you. Nothing could ever change that not even blood.
Staring at the letter , both eyes filled with water, I whisperd I love you Mom.
..............
I hope you forgive me one day. You may have never grow in my belly,, but you did grow in my heart.. ..Love Mom
I put the letter down sobbing. I missed my mom ... but I had to find my true identity,so off to L.A. California I went. California was only 135 miles away. I should be there in no time.
4 hours into my drive I felt lost.. Where was I? I went to look at my phone and it was dead. I was sure I charged it to 100% before I left. the radio on my car car stopped working as well. There's was nothing around me just land and hills for as far as I could see...
ding...ding..... Oh no my gas light just came on.. Why didn't I prepare better? What if I run out of gas? I havent seen another person in at least an hour??? I felt like I was in the Twilight zone. For reals.
Scared and unsure of everything that was happening I continue to drive. In the back of my mind praying there is a gas station soon.. Slowly going up this high hill I pray a gas station to be on the other side. My car was sputtering already.. I reached the top and could see nothing.. Not even a light . Just blackness.. I was so scared. I got into my car and put it in nutrual so I could coast down the hill as far as possible..
I felt like I was coasting for hours as I finally came to a stop. I pulled to the side of the road, and prayed I would be safe till morning.. I crawled into the back seat and covered my self with whatever I could find.. I was woken up by some loud shots and my car rocking suddenly.. Off in the distance I heard laughing and a voice saying shoot the other tire... boom I hear my other tire pop. I hope they don't see me in here.
Trembling I lie as silent as possible. One guy jumped up on my car jumping up and down. I was scared so I prayed..
Mama? You there? Can you hear me Mama? I'm scared............
Yes my child I hear you. Just close your eyes and picture my face. just look in my eyes.. I am here... It is going to be ok.. You are going to be with me now.. In heaven..
I opened my eyes and there was my Mama. She was an angel.. So was I. She said we will find you true identity together now...
