Before got on the plane, I looked at my mom and dad with a small smile. It was finally time to leave South Carolina, though I wasnt entirely sure that I was ready. I gave my daddy a hug first. I remembered my childhood, the times we would sit on the porch swing and talk about life, or the times when mom was on a health kick and we would sneak ice cream home and keep it in the outside meat freezer. "Bye Maisey.", he said sadly.
Next I hugged my mom and she started to cry. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to.", she whispered in my ear. "No mom, I have to do this. I'm twenty two now. And, since grandpa passed, I need to go be with grandma.", I told her. "I know! It's just so far away! You're doing the right thing though. I'm proud of you. I'm always proud of you.", she told me.
It was time to go. Sadly, I walked towards the plane headed to West Monroe, Louisiana.
