Heart Strings
I know there’s no such thing as a perfect family—mine sure as hell isn’t. I’m the middle child in a family of three. According to my mom, I used to be a wicked momma's girl and had to be with her all the time. I’m not sure when that changed and neither is she. My sister—who is three years older than I am—and I always had moments where we were best friends or worst enemies; no real in between. My brother—who is six years younger than I am—and I had a similar relationship, but more on the best friend side. After the birth of my second child, there started to be a huge drift in my family; more so, me from them. It got even bigger when I finally left her father and admitted that he was abusive, which cost me custody of my son to his father. My mom and sister blamed me for not telling anyone about the abusive relationship... for letting it get to the point of losing custody of my son.

Blame
I was six when my brother came into my life. My mother worked overnights and my dad worked first shift, so my older sister and I took care of him a lot. I learned how to change diapers, warm up bottles, and calm a baby in the middle of the night with next -to-no sleep. Honestly, it wasn't that hard, I couldn't wait until I was old enough to have kids. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, that drive was so deeply imbedded in me that it was one of my life goals growing up.

Baby
One day while I was at work, I received a text from my fiancé. It was a picture of a dog. When I asked whose dog it was, he replied with, "I found her on the side of the road and spent an hour trying to coax her over to me." He snapped the picture before heading over to the police station so they could try to find her owners. He called the next day to check in on her and was directed to the local animal shelter since she had no chip. The shelter said she was quarantined for two weeks while they tried to locate her owners and make sure she had no illnesses.
