We have all heard of the little engine who could. The little fellow just pulled on and pulled on never thinking maybe I can't do this. Always just putting his best foot forward and keep on chugging along. Well I guess you could call me that little engine who could. I never said I did not have a few bumps in the road or a scar here and there, but don't we all? We all live on this place called Earth. Breathing the same air, walking the same grounds... Yet no two of us are alike. Rather by looks, attitude, personality or what have you. We all live our own life, hold our own secrets, and furthermore.. Dig Our Own Grave.
Well, I feel I am on a slow path to digging my own grave, and taking the people I love down with me in my own little way. My name is Windy Reiterman, I am 16 Years old and this is my story...
As a child I lived the life of any normal child (so to speak) and I was the only child at the time. Living around my mother and my father both loving, caring, working parents. Never letting a day go by with out giving me a soft kiss or a warm hug. I was young and I was growing. Living in a large house stuck in one of the best neighborhoods around. My mother,Ann, was a working Insurance Agent, and my Father, Danny, was a moving, groovy, traveling Hitachi Tools selling man. Both worked all day everyday and myself went to school or at the time Day Care.
My life was good and I was growing up like any child would, not a care in the world for really anything, but myself and how many toys I had in my room. I was living the high life, a large pool, awesome parents, dogs, cats, and toys. I was happy to be the only child in my family at the time. Although I had been wanting a younger sister since I was about 5. Always dreaming about playing dolls with her, doing her nails, doing her make up and hair. Having someone that would look up to me and know I was always there.
Well... That dream came quicker then expected just not in that way.
I was about 5 years old when my mother came to me one day after she had gotten me from Pre-K. I had my dolly in my arm and my hair was down and looking like an child's hair would. Her hand in mine we walked toward are rather large house. I was a daddy's girl and I was hoping he would be there but I was not really shocked when I saw he was not there and his truck was gone. Yes, it broke my heart but I was becoming us to it even at that age. So, I just brushed it off and followed my mother into the house
"Go put your thinks of Windy. I am going to go use the rest room really fast." My mother spoke to me in her normal sweet voice.
With a nod of my head I took off up the stairs that turned a small corner and took up to the second floor, the bathroom dead ahead, my mother and father's room to the right, my room to the left and a guest bedroom across from mine. As I bounced off the top stair and walked to my room I heard my mother calling out to me. As I walked down the hallway and to her room, she was in her restroom and sitting on the toilet she had some form of a test in her hand. Me being only 5 was highly confused when she reached out and took my hand gently in her's..
"You know how you always said you wanted to be an older sister?" her voice still as tender and sweet as always.
I just stood there and gave a slight nod.
"Well, me and your father have decided we want another child as well. You are going to be a big sister!" her face lit up and her voice was excited.
When hearing her words go into my small ears I thought I was going to jump right out of my skin and have a heart attack. I started to jump up and down calling out...
"A sister!! Mommy!! It's a Girl!?" my face was lit up like the forth of July and I was the happiest ever. Staring into my mother's face.
My mother's face, although at the moment of great joy, fell slightly. "Well no. You are going to be a big sister to a baby boy." she smiled at me once again and her eyes scanned over my small, pale face.
Although I stopped jumping and my smile seemed to go away I was to young to know my next statement was a dumb one..
"TAKE IT BACK! Mommy! TAKE IT BACK!" I called out to her just in a voice that made me sound like a needing child.
When my mother looked back at me I was expecting her to snatch me up and tell me to quit but all she did was let out a small chuckle and shake her head..
"We can not take him back, Windy. He is ours now and you are his big sister." She took my small hand in her's and placed it on her still flat tummy. Feeling the smile come back to my face I was over joyed once again at the thought..
I am going to be a Big Sister.
