“Mom! Come and see this!”

Mom came bustling from inside the house to the back yard.

“Aren’t they pretty? Look, they’re eating from the birdhouse that I made,” my eyes sparkled.

“You’re such a thoughtful girl, honey. Those birds are so lucky.”

I beamed at Mom who smiled at me before heading back inside. I inched my way towards one of the birds and held it. I went to one of the bushes in the back yard and removed a cage, which I secured the bird in.

“You’ll get me a pretty penny at the pet store.”

Hi my name is Sofia.

I love my mother with all of my heart. She would alway boast to other parents and teachers about how well behaved I was, how I was always obedient in classes and always brought home excellent grades. My sister was an only child for a while and was adopted because my parents thought they couldn’t have children. When she was about six, Mom got pregnant and in nine months birthed a gorgeous baby girl, me. Dad, however, passed away when I was ten years old and even though Mom tried her best to keep us happy, I still felt a void in my spirit.
