Searching for Mona
Dear Mona,
When you entered my car I was at a loss for words. I did not know where you came from, how you got there and why you looked so raggedy. You offered me no answers nor did you have any interest in conversing. Quite frankly I did not want much to do with you other than take you where you needed to go. After spending time with you I realized how much I had a need to watch out for you. You were just a stranger, yet I felt like you were my own lost daughter. I did not need to know where you came from or why you had no future direction, and I will not ask you anymore questions. I enjoyed my time with you; I could have taken care of you. I know you need someone to love you, and I can be that one. I can be your family. I wish you hadn’t gone into those woods. I wish you had turned around and told me you wanted to stay with me. I’m still looking for you. You can come home; this can be your home.
Still waiting…..
