Fond memories of Aunt Mamie’s house.
I’ll never forget the first few mornings at Aunt Mamie’s house.
I have several fond memories there, but the first few mornings are still the most vivid, but when the people I was with and I first arrived, the first thing I observed was the smell of food cooking, both of us were hungry, and cold; And Aunt Mamie had a nice fire going in the fireplace, and she had Christmas music on. Both of us could hear other children playing in 1 of the other rooms, and the people I was with and I knew that the people I was with and I were safe! Our time before that, with our Mama, had been angry. Both of us ate dinner and dinner at school and tried to get dinner at a friend’s house, because the people I was with and I never had any food. My siblings and I were often sick, and the people I was with and I didn’t have any heat. Mama tried to heat the lake house with the stove, when she was home, but she had often left us alone. I didn’t think it at the time, but Mama had a drug problem. And Aunt Mamie was our foster mother. Both of us were finally in a lake house with plenty of great food and heat. It took Mama more than one years to get us back, and the people I was with and I stayed at Aunt Mamie’s the whole time. Both of us were never freezing in Winter and opened our Christmas presents before the fire in the fireplace. Aunt Mamie had air conditioning too. Both of us had never had air conditioning before. It made sleeping while in the summer time so much easier! The absolutely best thing about being at Aunt Mamies was that she had whole-house air purifiers all over the house, and the people I was with and I could breathe better. Our pollen irritations weren’t so problemsome, however eventually the people I was with and I went lake house to Mama and Aunt Mamie’s lake house became just memories, but, what fond memories they are.
