Remembering Union Station
The train to a halt almost immediately. Suzie was eager to see her Aunt again although she was still unsure of what to say. What do you say to your aunt whom you haven't seen in years? She couldn't waltz right in to the hospital saying, "Hey Aunt Suzie, my mom isn't staying clean, so I'm going to stay with you." She couldn't be happy or energetic about the situation. Not only has she not seen her aunt in a long time, but also she would have to tell Aunt Suzie how long her mother had been on drugs.
The doors of the train slide opened and all of the passengers, including Suzie, hurried off. She watched some of the men and woman going in different directions with eagerness and certainty. Suzie only had eagerness and hope. She hoped everything would work out.
She took a deep breath in and clutched the strings of her bag tighter as she slowly begain to maneuver her way through Union Station. She remembered her Aunt tell her story when she left Chicago for Pheonix.
Flashback
"Auntie Suzie, will you tell me your love story again!?" The enthusiastic six year old said.
"Sure. So I wanted to come live with you and your mom when you were still a baby because I didn't like not watching you grow up pumpkin." The little girl chuckled.
"Anyway, in order to come live with you I would have to leave work and all of my friends."
"Including Mark!" The little girl interrupted excitedly.
"Yes Suzie, including Mark. I had fallen in love with Mark, but it was time to move on. I packed up all of my things in my house and went to a train station."
"Union Station!" Suzie yelled.
"Yup pumpkin. Union Station. He told me that he loved me, and I still got on the train and as the train went away, I told him that I loved him too."
"But you still came to live with me and mommy and daddy."
"Yes baby, I did."
"Do you still love him Aunt Suzie? Do you still love Mark?"
"He was my best friend, but I haven't seen him in five years."
End of Flashback
Suzie remembered how Mark had died only a year later. But that wasn't important right now. A lot had happened at Union Station, and now it was her turn to make her mark. She walked into the Chicago streets with horns honking, taxis flying by and crowds of people. She took another deep breath of the warm Chicago air and walked to the crosswalk to wait for the light to turn to "WALK"
