The Letter
Chapter 22
Momma and Tina came up for the weekend as planned. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen while they were here. I wasn’t sure if I would like her because she was nice or if I would automatically hate her because she was with Momma. I wanted to go in with an open mind but that wasn’t easy. Lyss was excited to meet her. She said that she wanted Momma to have a girlfriend and that if the girlfriend was really nice, maybe one day we could all be a family. I’m not sure when she started thinking of wanting a family different than what we had. Maybe I was the only one who was stuck and having a hard time moving on.
When the counselor told me to get Lyss and to go up front because we had visitors, I took a deep breath and walked to Lyss’ cabin. She was playing cards with some of the other girls but quickly jumped up when I told her Momma was here. We walked to the front and I saw them before they saw us. Momma had her arm around Tina’s waist. I had never really seen her touching another woman before. They looked really comfortable with each other. When they heard us, they turned and we both gave Momma hugs. I had really missed her. She introduced us to Tina and she was really pretty. I had called Aunt Alice to talk to her about everything and she had told me that Tina was pretty but I hadn’t really paid much attention to it when she said so. She was right.
When Momma started talking about Tina being crazy, I was confused. If she was crazy, why had Momma brought her here with her? I didn’t realize she was joking until she said that Tina had wanted to sleep in tents. There was no way Momma would ever sleep in a tent and Lyss and I started laughing at the thought. I knew that I could like Tina then. She told us about liking camping and it was so funny when she called Momma a wimp. No one called Momma a wimp but she just took it with a smile directed at Tina. I didn’t know much about love but I knew that look that Momma gave Tina was different than any woman Momma had dated had received in front of me. She loved Tina. It was a look a lot like she gave to me and Lyss.

So, so sweet…that Emma has a great sense of humor too…”Momma had her arm around Tina but they weren’t being gross or anything”..LOL. Great update!
I really like Em’s perspective and my favorite part is her knowing something’s up with her Momma – she is so the first daughter of a single parent ( who lost someone too early in her life) and therefore tuned in that higly sensitized scanning the environment way. They way you wrote that part was wonderful.
I’ve been waiting on all day for this update. Can’t wait for some conversations between Tina and the kidz.
This is still so good. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
This is a wonderful story. I love the way you wrote Emma’s perspective and I love how sensitive she is with Bette that she can pick up on something bothering her mom. Can’t wait for more conversations between Tina and the kids. PPS
Heheh…Froot Loops! The breakfast bonding begins… :)
love this story… and tina will fit like a glove… they are all made for each other… PPS
Great chapter…thanks!
Hahahaha…I loved the end about Tina pouring too much cereal, so she did too. This is soo good. You have an uncanny ability to get into the person that you are writing as the narrative. I’m sorry you can’t go with your friends this weekend and you have to stay home and write (hee hee crosses fingers behind back).
It’s nice to see Em come around. She’s such an observant and sensitive child. I’m sure Tina’s charm and kind heart will eventually win her over. Thanks for being such a tireless and selfless writer, NAG. Cheers! :>
Hey I love “Catch That Kid” and that was before The L Word. Actually, there is a story behind the movie that has a sad ending to it. I also love Fruit Loops. They are not as bad for you as one would think. Check the label on that cereal against some of the one that are suppose to be good for you. This was an awesome chapter. I enjoyed Em’s point of view. It an it was an interesting chapter for the entire family.
Damn, your doing such a great job with this story. Glad to see the girls giving Tina a chance and its kinda cute to see her and Emma gang up on Bette. NOw time for Joyce to take down the grandparents.
Awesome chapter!!! You ROCK!!!!
nice beginning to the new kennard-porter family…love it.
I love how this chapter was about Emma’s feelings and how she could tell there is something up with her Momma. I lost my dad when I was 5 so I know where she is coming from. Thanks PPVS Amazing Update!!!
Love Em POV, she is too cute fruitloops,lol… tina and em match made in heaven! :)PPS
Another fantastic chapter! You had me laughing out loud when Emma was remembering when she was eight and wanted to cook brownies. I could totally imagine Bette calling on Alice and Shane for help and the mess that would ensue. (Emma should have asked for PARTY brownies, THEN Shane may have been able to pull it off! Ha! Ha!J/K) I know I’ve said it before but this is such a good story. Your writing skills are devine! Thanks and keep it up!
Reading Em’s side of the story was very refreshing. Her analysis about the changes she’s observing in her mom’s behaviour towards Tina is very ccute. Her reaction to Tina’s natural charm was enchanting. We are truly enjoying this story. PPS Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)
Okay, I’ve gotta confess… the first time you mentioned ‘fruit loops’ in this story it triggered the kid in me and within a few days, I bought one of those single serving boxes and treated myself to a childhood fav. I mentioned it to a friend with the observation that the colors were brighter than I had remembered… she told me “no they arn’t, your memory is just dull.” Love your stories!! PPS!
