~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~in 4 hours~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I was nudged awake by the flight attendant when we were close to landing. I had fallen asleep and missed most of the flight. "I looked outside to see snow falling gently like the first snow and thanked God that Mrs. Ashley made me leave my coat out of my suitcase. I put it over my arms and sat up straight. 'Thank you Lord the guy beside me never showed up and I could stretch out' I thought as the plane landed. I shuffled out of the plane with my duffle bag and back pack swung on opposite shoulders. I walked out with my jacket held close to me and my lips shivering "The weather is bipolar in the world. In Texas it was hot, it was only August, and I wish I had my winter sweater and not my Texas summer tank-top. I shuffled out of the plane and looked around every one on the plane knew somebody except me. I looked around and there I saw a small stature of a woman holding up a large sign in bold print saying
"Welcome To Canada Elizabeth"
I slowly walked over and looked at this woman; she was short and very thin with short dark hair and eyes. I walked over to her and said "I'm guessing you're looking for me? Hi I'm Elizabeth."
"Ohh hey I'm your godmother Christine, but everybody calls me 'Spike'. I went to high school with 'Star'…" I interrupted her "'Star'? My dad called my mom that." I said a little teary-eyed "That was her nick-name, anyway when she lived up here, and when you were born she asked me since we were best friends since grade 3. Your parents moved to the states not long after that to be closer to your father's parents. He was here on exchange. Oh I'm sorry you must be tired and here I am just babbling on and oh where is Em' I told her food court, soda, and back."
"Em'" I asked with a questioning look on my face.
"Oh she's my daughter she's about your age. EMMA!" she called the last with a loud voice and started on her way to the food court. "MOM I'm right here you DON'T have to yell!" I saw a girl about 14 who was tall, skinny, and had straight kind of stringy dirty blonde hair.
"I'm sorry Hun I was just worried about you."
"Mom you told me I could go to the food court and I started to get lost on the way back"
"It's ok were going to pick up Elizabeth's luggage. And then we can go."
"You can call me Liz, Lizzie, Beth, anything but Elizabeth that was my mother's name." I said and brushed away a tear before it ran down my cheek.
We walked out to the car in silence I was fighting tears the whole trip.
