The Letter
Chapter 16
Camp is really fun. I always love it but this year, it’s so much more. Being older gives us a lot more freedom and a lot more intense interaction with nature. All the campers, even the youngest ones do hiking but with my age group, we go on extended hikes and get to see so many different flowers and birds. The one thing that we saw that I loved but am paying for now was the waterfall. I had never seen one before. Our counselor pointed it out to us during a hike and I was mesmerized by how beautiful it was. I grabbed my camera and took pictures wanting to capture it so I could put it on canvas when I got home. We were all tired and decided that while looking at the waterfall, we would rest. For those of us who sat down, that decision was not our best. We all got Poison Oak.
I have never been sick other than colds and stuff so the Poison Oak really was something that got me. I was itching and hurting and wanting Momma to take care of me. The doctor looked at me and told me that once I started on medication, I would start to feel better. I hoped so. They called Momma who gave them permission and I talked to her. As much as I wanted her to take care of me, I was afraid that she would make me come home. I didn’t want to do that. Sure I was miserable but the doctor told me that it would only last a couple of days. I was glad that Momma let me stay. Once I felt better, I would hate missing all the cool things to do at camp.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I was itching and couldn’t get back to sleep. Everyone in the cabin was asleep so I grabbed my phone and went to the porch. We weren’t supposed to go outside once lights were off but I didn’t want to wake everyone else up. I called Momma. She was sleeping but she woke up immediately when she realized it was me. We talked and I felt better. I asked her to tell me a story about Mom. That always makes me feel better. I heard someone whisper something to Momma and I knew that she wasn’t alone. If she was at home and one of my aunts had stayed at the house, they wouldn’t have been sleeping in the same room with her and they wouldn’t have whispered. None of my aunts were known for being quiet.

Great chapter. Wish I’d had you around when my daughter was a pre-teen. Em is getting there little by little. Em will love Tina especially if Kit and Alice seem to like her as well. She will see that Tina is a very loving person and does not try to take her mother’s place in their lives but just wants to love them and their mother. After everyone has adjusted to Tina being in Bette’s life and they see how well she trats Bette and how much she loves her, everything will be fine. NAG keep up the great work. Post when you can.
Also meant to say thst your attention to detail is wonderful as well NAG.
those kids are so lucky to have all of the girls in their lives… esp kit… love this story… i wish i had to the time to write as much as you do… but i love reading your stories… so please continue
Hopefully the girls realize how lucky they are to have all these aunt’s in their lives. The girls will be fine, and I don’t think Bette will take too long to tell them about Tina. Let the lovin, and the making of a new family begin.
I’m glad Em is going to give whoever her mom meets a chance. I know Bette will make her see that even though things in thier lives will change they will only change for the better. Can’t wait for the next chapter, love the story.
Emma sure is more mature for her age than I was at 12 :P I can tell she’s struggling with her feelings but she’s trying to accept what Kit has told her and also the content of the letter. I think Em and Lyss will love Tina since the beginning but I can’t help wondering about what drama is gonna be about =/ I’ll just wait for you to surprise me ;)
mmmmmmmmmmm smores, love them. Kit’s a good aunt with good advice. PPS!!
i really like the chapters from Em’s point of view. And I am glad she had a chat to Kit too. Looking forward to the chat with Bette! Excellent work NAG :)
lovely, thank goodness for aunty Kit.
Em is one lucky kid. Oh to have had an Aunt Kit at her age, LOL! and her maturity is no doubt due to the influence of all her loving aunts. She’s gonna fall head over heels for Tina.
What a great conversation between aunt and niece – Em is working hard to face the change she knows is coming – luckily for her she has adults like her mother who left such love in letters and aunts who can help her realize that her momma deserves someone special to be her partner too.Great details in your story and as always I am totally enjoying all the focus on love.
I am loving the frequent updates, nag, as I have become addicted to your writing. Tina will be the perfect compliment to Bette and her daughters. I’m always amazed how well you describe the emotion behind each character. Look forward to Emma’s talk with Bette.
i can em and tina getting along just great once em settles down to know tina…. i’m glad em has kit to talk to. :)PPS
And here’s another reason that I love you stuff so much…you don’t leave big wacking cliff hangers! I want more because the chapter was so good, but I feel sated that I had an ending to that particular segment. Wonderful take on Em’s feelings NAG…you’re terrific!
