Michaela and Lu sat there for an hour as Michaela cried and told of her story. She told Lu that even though her aunt and uncle weren't abusive they didn't really pay to much attention to her when she was there. And she remembered how her mother and father were so loving and she wished that she to were in that accident that they died in. Lu sat and listened to her and she consoled her the best that she could. Lu knew then that she had to be kind to this child and show her the love that she was denied for so long. Michaela fell asleep and Lu walked out of the room quietly.

"Mark, I thinks it's about time you went to bed too."

"Mom you were in there a long time is Mike alright?"

"Yes she's fine know, Mark I know I said this before but we need to be patient with her we have to show that there are people in this world like her parents we need to show her that we can love her do you think you can do that."

"Yeah don't worry mom I can do that you don't have to worry, well I'm going to go to bed know see you in the morning."

"Love you Mark"

"Love you to mom"

After Mark went to bed lu did the same she had a lot to think about and a lot to do tomorrow. Maybe she would bring Michaela to her work with her just for a little while to show her what she does and then she would take the afternoon off and they could both go shopping.
