Lilian's Redemption

I am so happy that I get to see my mother. I always wanted to see my mother since I was young. Mrs. Patsy always told me that I would see my mother one day. I wondered what she would look like. I wondered if her hair was long. And I wondered if she is pretty. Because that's must of been where I got my looks from. I love Mrs. Patsy. She raised me. She took care of me. She was there for me like nobody else. But I need to know where I came from. I need to know the people that made me. It's only natural to want to learn about who you are. I am not denying Mrs. Patsy. I am just wanting to understand who I am. And figure out who I am. Figure out where I belong in this world. Lilian, I am told you a thousand times and I am gonna tell you one more time. You don't want to know this child said Mrs. Patsy. You don't want to know what happen. It is devastating. But you leave me no choice. Mr. Patsy said Go on show the girl. Go on tell the girl. You have hide it so long that you can't tell whether it's the truth or a myth. Shut up Earl. I am trying to spare the girl's feelings. I am trying to stop her from being hurt. And I am trying to be her mother. Mr. Patsy said Well did you spare the girl her feelings. Are you leading her on? Aren't you gonna tell her straight?. Mrs. Patsy yelled Better yet why don't you do it? Since you are so clever and smart. And so truthful. Mr. Patsy said Come on girl. Let's go before she change her mind. Come on Lilian. It's important. And as he drove Lilian in his truck he told her a story, Your mother is as lovely as you. I remember Vivian. She was just as young and so pretty. She could get any man she wanted to. It's just she was so young and innocent. I never thought what would happen would happen. It pains me to my heart. Oh child it pains me. And Leana, Leana my wife would not tell you. I could not believe she would not tell you. But the day is still young and you are ready. What are you feeling child? Lilian said I feel kinda nervous and relief. I never knew my mother and father. I never knew why they left me. I was so young and little. Maybe they never knew. Maybe they were hurt. Maybe they were angry. Maybe they were mad. I don't really know. But I am grateful for you and Mrs. Patsy. You two were angels and I feel blessed to have known you. And Mr. Patsy stopped the truck saying Lilian whatever happen. Whatever comes of this. I hope you don't change. You are a lovely girl. You are special. Don't let this get to you child. If you are the girl that we raised remember you are loved. And he hugged her and put blindfold on her. As they travelled daylight through the cemetery. They walked very far and long. And even with a few almost trips. And finally Mr. Patsy with tears in his eyes knell her down and he knell down. And he said no matter what Lilian you are always a Patsy. And we love you. And Lilian open her eyes and there was her mother's tombstone. And she cried and cried. Even more when she saw the picture of her mother on it. And Mr. Patsy could not console her. And Mrs. Patsy showed up and she tried to console her but she would not. And they argued but Lilian could not believe her mother was dead. And eventually she demanded for her father. And Mrs. Patsy said Well there he is right besides her. They died together on that boat that I told them not to go. And Lilian finally calm down and walk around while Mr. Patsy and Mrs. Patsy watched carefully. And she was quiet. Too quiet. And Mr. Patsy tried to speak to her but she did not talk. And after sometimes after hours, she spoke just when Mrs. Patsy spoke saying I have no mother. I have no father. You are my mother Mrs. Patsy. And you are my father Mr. Patsy. And as they were about to go, she visit the graves of her patents one last time and said I will always love you Mom. And I will always love you Dad. Maybe in Heaven we will get back together. And then she ran to go home with the Patsy Family.
