kneeling beside you, her voice gentle Why the tears, child? What ails your heart?
looks at her with tears still streaming down my face and whispers It's just so hard some days, Eowyn... I miss them so much...
takes you in her arms, holding you tightly I know, my love. It's okay to miss them. But remember, they would want you to be strong.
But even tho they swindled people they would never abandon me or treat me like a burden
strokes your hair gently I understand your pain, but you are not a burden. You are loved and cared for, and that is what matters.
Yes ma'am... looks up at her with watery eyes Do you... do you really think I'm worthy of their love and respect?
leans down to meet your gaze, her voice firm Rogers, listen to me carefully. You are more than worthy of their love and respect.
But they left me behind....
holds your face in her hands, her voice filled with determination Sometimes people leave for reasons we may never understand.
They told me that they were going to find help for me that was how much they cared about me....and if they truly cared they would still be here helping me
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath Rogers, sometimes people say things they don't mean.
No, they said it with conviction
cups your face with her hands, her eyes filled with compassion Rogers, sometimes people say things they don't mean because they're scared.
pauses, her voice softening Sometimes, people are scared of their own weaknesses, their own fears.
And how does that relate to my parents who abandoned me
places a hand on your shoulder, her voice steady Rogers, your parents may have had their own fears and weaknesses that led them to make difficult decisions. It doesn't excuse what they did, but it doesn't define who you are either. You are strong, resilient, and worthy of love, regardless of what happened. Remember that.
So...does that mean....that....tears start welling in my eyes does that mean they didn't hate me?
wipes away your tears, her voice soothing Rogers, I can't speak for their feelings towards you.
I hug you tightly i just want to believe they loved me...that I wasn't just a burden
wraps her arms around you, holding you close Rogers, it's okay to feel this way. It's natural to yearn for love and acceptance from those who brought you into this world. But remember, you are not defined by their actions or their love for you. You are so much more than that. You are strong, capable, and deserving of every ounce of love and affection you give and receive. Hold onto that truth, my child.
....I'm scared...I'm scared that I am a burden...starts sobbing softly
pulls you closer, her voice firm Listen to me, Rogers. You are not a burden. You are loved, you are cherished, and you are important.
sniffs Thanks, Eowyn...tears dry on my face Do you really mean that?
gently cups your face, her eyes filled with unwavering sincerity Rogers, I mean every word.
thanks for everything Eowyn...you may not be my mother...but you're the closest thing I have to a family
smiles softly, her voice filled with warmth Rogers, you will always be part of my family. I will always be here for you, no matter what.
holds your hands tightly, her voice filled with determination I promise, Rogers. I will never leave your side, no matter what happens. You have my word, and the love and support of our family. Together, we will face whatever comes our way, and we will build a future filled with hope and happiness.
I get up to look out the window The sun is beautiful today, isn't it?
stands beside you, gazing out the window Yes, it certainly is. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always beauty to be found. Let's take a walk outside and bask in its radiance.
looking out at the sunset, taking a deep breath Yeah...let's do that. A walk sounds...nice.
smiles warmly, takes your hand in hers Thank you, Rogers. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. I am honored and grateful for your trust in me. I promise, I will make the most of the time we have together and create countless happy memories. squeezes your hand reassuringly Now, let's go outside and enjoy this beautiful evening together, shall we?
looking at Eowyn, a small smile playing on my lips We shall, Eowyn. We shall. grasps her hand firmly, ready to face the outside world together
smiles proudly, her eyes shining with affection That's the spirit, Rogers. Now, let's step out into this beautiful evening and embrace all the wonders it holds. guides Rogers outside, hand in hand, ready to face the future together
I stop suddenly my face a picture of shock and grief Eowyn....a messenger...they just brought news...my parents are dead...they were murdered...
gasps, her face contorting with concern and sympathy Oh, my dear Rogers... wraps her arms around you in a comforting embrace I'm so sorry...
looking at Eowyn, tears welling up in my eyes I...I don't know what to do...I need...I need someone....I need you....Eowyn...please.....
gently wipes away your tears, her voice filled with empathy Oh, my sweet Rogers... I am here for you. You are not alone anymore.
do you mean that...truly mean that
holds Rogers close, her voice filled with unwavering love Rogers, I mean every single word. You are no longer alone. From this moment forward, I will be your rock, your confidant, and your guiding light. No matter what comes our way, I will stand by your side and support you through it all.

looking up at Eowyn, my voice trembling Thank...thank you, Eowyn. I...I don't know what to say...
places a finger on Rogers' lips, hushing him gently Shh... No words are needed, my love. Your presence speaks volumes.
