Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl

She had a mommy and a daddy that she loved very much

She was happy because this was the family she had chosen in heaven

In time she had two wonderful sisters join her family

But after a while the little girl saw that something was very wrong

Her mommy and daddy were always mad at each other

The said mean things to each other and made the little girl afraid

She was always very sad when she heard them like this and tried to make it better

But her mommy and daddy were so mad at each other that they did not hear or see her cry

One day, while daddy was at work, mommy packed all of their clothes in suitcases

The little girl thought they were leaving on a trip when daddy got home

Instead mommy put them in the car an took them to grandma’s

It was always fun to be at grandma’s house

But where was daddy?

The little girl did not understand why daddy had not come with them

Mommy said it was because daddy didn’t love them anymore

This made the little girl cry a lot

She loved her daddy. She had picked him to be her daddy.

The little girl knew that her mommy and daddy had not been happy for a while

She thought it was like when she argued with her sisters

They got really mad at each other but then made up and were friends again

There were lots of distractions at grandma’s house but the little girl could not forget her daddy

After what seemed like forever her daddy finally came to see them but he couldn’t stay

Her daddy tried to visit often but every time he left the little girl was sad again

She wanted her family to be together again so badly it made her heart hurt

Many months passed at grandma’s house

Now when she visited her daddy there was a strange new woman with him

And at grandma’s her mommy was always on the phone or out with this strange new man

The little girl was always nice to the strangers since they made her mommy and daddy seem happier

But then when she was alone with her mommy and asked when they were going to live with daddy again a bad thing happened

Her mommy started to say terrible things about her daddy and to convince the little girl that her daddy was mean

The next time she was with her daddy she told him that she missed him and didn’t think he was mean

When her daddy asked what she was talking about she told him what her mommy had said and how she knew it was wrong

Her daddy became very angry and then he started to tell the little girl what a terrible person her mommy was

Now the little girl was even more sad

She spent a lot of time alone with her dollies, trying to tell them how afraid she was

They were her best friends in the whole world because they never went anywhere

Every night the little girl prayed that god would talk to her mommy and daddy

She wanted god to make them say sorry and be nice to each other again

But he didn’t

The little girl watched with sad tears as her mommy married the new stranger

Her daddy married the quiet woman too

The little girl felt torn in half

She did her best to be part of two families

But each family was so angry with the other that mostly she just felt invisible

So she stood back and watched, desperately trying to understand the feelings of everyone around her

She wouldn’t take sides and after a while her mommy taught her sisters to be mean to her too

The little girl was truly alone

So she made herself a promise

Someday, when she was big, she would have her own family

And they would love and accept each other the way her first family was supposed to

That way, when she had her own little girls and boys, they would never have to be afraid or sad or alone again

And then she would live happily ever after

The End
