Today was one of those gloomy Saturdays. Today wasn't just any Saturday though, this Saturday marked the day that our parents gave us up because we were different. On these days, my sisters were the

saddest. But today, I couldn't be strong for them. Today I made breakfast and went up to my room. I knew that sometime today I would be covered in tears shed by my little sisters. Today, I wanted to write a song

for them while I comfort them. I had to make it special and good so that we could use it on these days. So I picked up the guitar in my room and began to strum. Slowly the lyrics began to come to me. I couldn't help

but shed a tear every now and again, but I finished the song. I decided to call it I Wonder. A few hours passed in silence when at the threshold of my door appeared Bais and Murriana, both with tears streaming

down their faces. I invited them in ready to comfort them. Slowly and shaken, they entered my room and sat on my bed. Both put their faces in my shoulder and they began to cry no longer silent tears. I began to

strum my guitar and sing the song I wrote.

Sometimes I think about you
Wonder if you're out there somewhere thinking bout me
And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
Are your brown eyes looking back at me
They're the only thing you ever gave to me at all

Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
There's sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you'd say to me

I think about how it ain't fair
That you weren't there to braid my hair
Like mothers do
You weren't around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom
Like mothers do
Did you think I didn't need you here
To hold my hand
To dry my tears
Did you even miss me through the years at all

Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
There's sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you'd say to me

Forgiveness is such a simple word
But it's so hard to do when you've been hurt

Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
And just in case you're wondering about me
From now on I won't be in Carolina
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off to Tennesse

When the song ended, I felt that my sisters' spirits where slightly up. "I…love…that…song…Selena…" Bais told me through sobs. "Yeah…me…too…"Murriana told me through tears. "Glad you liked it guys." I told them

in a dead tone. "You should write your music down so you can become famous one day." Bais told me. "I might consider that little sis." I told her. "I'm gonna go lay down in my bed and take a nap Selena. I'm not

feeling too well." Murriana told me a little shaken. "Do you want something Murriana? Orange juice? Advil?" I asked in a concerned tone. "That's ok." Murriana said. She trudged off to her room and Bais hung back and

clung to my arm. Slowly I stood up. She lingered behind but then ever so slowly and carefully she also got up. We walked down the stairs together, Bais leaning on me for support when her legs didn't want to carry

her further. We walked to the living room and sat on one of the couches together. Bais was very out of it so she laid her head down in my lap and I absent-mindedly began to stroke her hair. Today was going to be

the saddest day especially now that we are older and more emotional. Tears again began to streak my beautiful little sister's face and landed on my jeans. I also began to silently shed tears. It was going to be a

long day. Eventually my gentle strokes on Bais's hair caused her to fall asleep. Carefully I lifted her head onto a couch pillow while I got up to go check on Murriana. She was sleeping as well. Carefully and quietly I

walked out of her room and back down the stairs. I went into the kitchen to fix Bais and Murriana fresh chicken noodle soup. After I finished with dinner, I went to lie on the couch and read my book. After hours, Bais

and Murriana came back into consciousness and walked to the table where I set there bowls of steaming chicken noodle soup. We ate in silence with an occasional slurp. After dinner was finished I cleaned up the

dishes and sent Murriana and Bais upstairs for showers and bed. Tomorrow would be a better day. It had to be. When I heard no more running water, I walked upstairs to take my own shower. When I was done I

walked to Murriana's room first and asked her if she felt ok. But she was already sound asleep so I whispered goodnight and walked off to Bais's room. I found her curled in her bed waiting for me. I sat down on the

edge of her bed. Bais slowly rose out of the covers and rapped her arms around my neck for a few more sobs to escape onto my shoulder. After she was done, she told be goodnight and slowly drifted off to sleep. I

told her goodnight and wandered into my own room and fell asleep. Hopefully tomorrow will brighten there day. Slowly I drifted off into dreams and the future of tomorrow.
