I was the squirt of then family but I had hopes that one day I would be as big and mean as my brothers.The weekend after my sis was thrown out she'd f...und a house to stay in. It was a wreck but she didn't have a lot of money to fix it up. Tom and Larry said they'd help her fix it up unbeknown to dad. But my dad was suspicious on the Saturday when they both disappeared and were still missing around supper time. I knew where they were and peddled my bike over to warn them to come home.I knocked. She had picked up the bag that had been thrown out of the vehicle on impact; and upon examining its contents found a couple of disposable diapers, a bottle of milk, a bottle of water, and an extra set of clothes.Margaret called in sick the following day. She arranged for the older woman who lived next door to baby sit for her while she shopped for all the things she would need to care for her 'new baby from God.' She told the woman that she was taking in a foster child and would probably need. There was something, he said, about you showing him how to build something special?’ ‘Yes’ I answered with weak knees but a surprisingly strong voice ‘but it’s a secret for someone’s birthday, and I’ve been told not to say anything about it’. That someone was of course Sam’s dad, and I guess he understood since he didn’t continue with his questions. He took my hand and squeezed it softly. ‘Thank you’ I don’t know why, but I answered him with a whispered ‘thank you’ and felt my cheeks go warm. Grandma was the one that mom told me never understood her decision.While I was recollecting on the past, mom was still in tears talking about her memories with her brother. Hysterically she began to mumble her memories of Uncle Frank out loud. What she told aunt B and I should have been a shocking moment, but somehow I had become accustomed to it in my unusual family.Mom told us that Uncle Frank and Uncle Bill was the first one she had sex with. She sat with her head down in tears recalling.
