Thanks for catching that mistake svurookie...sorry it was late and I hit the wrong chapter to upload...so here it is... thanks.

Casey looked at me and said," You're very welcome. You did great Sarah, and it's over now. So work on moving on. He's not a part of your life anymore."

I hugged her and Olivia and I went home.

Once we had gotten home we changed clothes and met back in the kitchen.

We had just started cooking dinner from my mom's old recipes when Olivia's cell phone started ringing.

I looked at her waiting for her to answer and rush off to work. She looked down and hit the ignore button on her phone.

She looked up at me and said," Tonight it's just us. Let's get cooking."

We cooked for almost two hours and then sat down to a table with flowers and candles.

I felt like my mom was here again.

We talked and laugh while we ate the foods my mom used to make for us.

After we had cleaned up the kitchen we curled up on the couch to watch a movie.

We each got to pick one. We watched hers first, it was a movie I had watched with her and my mom many times during my childhood.

Then I put in my video, but it wasn't a movie it was a home video.

I was younger and Olivia was there. My mom was behind the camera talking… we were happy.

I looked at Olivia when I finally stopped the tape after an hour and said," I feel like that again?"

She asked," Like what?"

I said," I'm happy."

She hugged me and said," I'm glad you are. I'm happy too. I love you Sarah."

I looked up and said," I love you to Olivia, I love you too."

She said," Come on, it's late. Why don't we head to bed and we can go shopping in the morning."

I said," Okay. Good night Olivia."

We got up and walked to the bathroom to brush our teeth.

She finished first and kissed the top of my head and walked to her room to put on her pjs.

I walked to my room when I had finished and changed clothes. I sat down on the window sill and looked up at the stars.

I prayed out loud," Dear God, Thank you for letting the jury believe me, and for sending me Olivia. Even though I get mad at her sometimes and she doesn't always listen to me when I talk to her; I know that she loves me and that's she'd do anything for me. I love her…she's like my mom. She's learning how to read my face, and she's also learning that I don't always say what I mean. She reminds me so much of my mom. Her laugh, her smile, the way she loves life…I couldn't live my life without her. So God, whatever happens to me in the future…whatever your plan is, please, just let her be here with me. I can't handle losing anyone else. For once, I just want to have a family that will always be there for me. I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live; just let us be a family. Oh, Yeah…God, Please tell my mom that I love her…and I miss her."

Olivia had been standing in the door and had heard my prayer. She stood behind me and wrapped her arms around me and looked up at the stars and added to my prayer," Never let Sarah stop reaching for the stars. You gave her to me and now we're a family. I couldn't live my life without her either. And tell her mom I love her and miss her too. Amen."

She hugged me and said," We are a family Sarah."
