I'm looking at the 2 dresses hanging on my closet; dark blue or dark green? My eyes keep switching from dress to dress, okay green it is, no changing!
I'm nervous as fuck while standing in front of the courtroom. Today is the day, all the forms I filled out, hopefully it payed off. I see granny walk in, a bit further at the parking the uncle is getting this way. I take a deep breath before going in.
There is so much happening, I hear people whispering around me, I feel my heart in my chest and I look at Kenzie sitting at the front by the woman who took care of her the last couple of weeks. "Mrs Claire Miller" I look up at the judge. "You are now the official guardian of Mackenzie Evans". My heart stopped for just a second, I did it! "Do you think you're able to do that?" I start nodding my head "Yes, Yes!". He keeps on talking about some things but I don't really hear him. I look at Kenzie who is waving at me. You're mine, I'll take care of you like your parents would have wanted.
With Mackenzie holding my hand while taking small steps we walk into the retirement home, on our way to visit granny. "Hey there little girl" I place Kenzie on her lap and smile at her. "Thank you dear" "For what?" "Keeping her in contact with her family, I knew you would do great". I look at her confused while she strokes Mackenzie's hair. "I talked to the judge, he wanted to know what I thought would be best". I smile and tears form into my eyes. "Thank you" "No, thank you, for giving her as much as you possibly can"
