Babygirl wake up, my singing angel, we're here. In the hills? she ask. Come meet your uncle and the boys. Boys? she thought. Twilight this is your uncle Bullfrog. Bullfrog Twilight laughed. Maybe if you're good, I'll tell you how I got that name. Uncle Bullfrog chuckled. And this is Ray, Jo, And Andy. Hi Twilight smiled.
Grab your bags , I'll show y'all your room. The front porch looked really old the paint was chipped off everywhere. The swings rusted chains look as though it had been a million years old. Twilight thought. I hope the house doesn't fall down. "Twilight!" come here babygirl. Coming, Mommy can I lay down and take a nap? That's the first mommy said.
Andy! give it back! jo yelled. Calm down before dad comes in here said Ray. Wow! these people are loud. Something feels creepy about this place. Twilight thought. Twilight it's time for dinner. Okay mommy I'm coming. its nighttime again. she thought. So little lady, I hear you had everybody singing on the bus. Yes sir. It was amazing I couldn't stop smiling.
I love singing God's praises. Do you have a church here? Well I guess we do. I think there are churches in every town. right? chuckled Uncle Bullfrog.
So do you go to church, what's your church like? I use to go to church, but when my wife passed. I haven't gone.
How come? Questioned Twilight. Just ain't been a feeling up to it, I suppose.
Huh? she thought. oh she said. Well I'm calling it a night, duty calls early in the morning. Nite Dad. Nite boys.
Twilight was very interested in know what happen to the boys mommy.
Do you mind me asking, what happen to your mom? a rare blood disease. She died a year ago. Sorry, Twilight said. feeling really sad about them losing there mommy. Ray, the oldest said Dad sure has been moody these days. It's like one minute he is being normal then the next. He is yelling, and mad at mom cause she died. I dont blame her Jo signed. Wow! that's alot to take in she thought. Feeling frozen but so wanting to change the subject. As you can see things haven't been easy. He was in a good mood tonight. I knew, it felt like something felt off. she thought. Well I guess, I'm going to go to bed now. Miss up all night singing Stupid songs! jo said. Stupid! well you would know music if it bit you in the face. Jo Shut up! Sorry Twilight, Ray said. Goodnight guys. see y'all tomorrow.
Dammit who left this broom in the middle of the room. Uncle Bullfrog was not in a good mood this morning.
I hope mommy finds a church I need at least one day way from here.
Good morning mommy, goodmorning Twilight. Where's daddy? Outside on the porch I think.
skipping through the livingroom to find Daddy. Hey Babygirl, did you sleep good. Yes! I slept great. Daddy can I ask you something ? Anything, Why is uncle Bullfrog so angry? Babygirl, sometimes people get so hurt by losing people. They dont realize it would be better to think of the good times. instead of the ending.
So basically, He mad because she is gone. Jo said last night that he didnt blame her for leaving. Yeah baby, anger is part of the grief process. Don't worry your pretty little head over this. Okay Daddy. Come eat breakfast. yelled mommy. Okay.
Wow ma'am that was the best food I've eaten in years. Ray praised. Thank you sweetie.
Come on Andy! Jo yelled. Let's go show Twilight around. We have woods and creeks just right outside that front door. Really? I have always wanted a creek in my yard. Cool let's go.
Wow the tree's where so beautiful here. The creek water look so clear. Yeah dad said our county has the cleanest water in a 1000 mile radius. Andy says with praise. Do you know how to skip rocks? I have to say I dont. Okay I'll show ya said Ray.
What was your mom like Twilight ask Andy. She always smelled like a fresh spring morning. Her eyes smiled no matter what life throw her way. you mean dad threw her way jo said. Let it go jo Andy yelled. Jo your mom will never leave you, she will always be with you. I dont believe she likes seeing you so angry Twilight told him. She didnt do nothing while she was here after knowing she was going to go. I wish she would had found a good home for us. yeah! like we we're dogs. Anywhere would be better then here. God, please be with Jo and please lighten his loud on this. Can you please calm uncle Bullfrog. He seems to be the target. in jesus name Amen. Twilight prayed in silent. speaking of the old toad now! aw man.
Twilight really didnt know how to feel about all this. she knew one thing for sure. She wouldnt wanna be going through what these boys were. Best believe Her mother and father had there share of issues. But somehow this seem worst.
