“When I see other<br />
kids that show<br />
being scared, I<br />
try to talk them<br />
through it, <strong>and</strong><br />
show them they<br />
can have hope.”<br />
<strong>and</strong> I had to start therapy. My mom set up mentors for us. We felt scared,<br />
embarrassed, sad, angry, disappointed, <strong>and</strong> so much more. We now had to let<br />
go <strong>of</strong> our dad <strong>and</strong> realize he was never going to be with us again.<br />
I still have some fear, but I continue to be brave. I know that this was the<br />
past <strong>and</strong> I’m safe now. It’s really hard to not have it in the back <strong>of</strong> my head<br />
every day. It happened so fast <strong>and</strong> we had no warning. I try to do my best by<br />
showing my family courage that we can get through this. When I see other<br />
kids that show being scared, I try to talk them through it, <strong>and</strong> show them<br />
they can have hope.<br />
