weirdm

gasps and turns towards the direction indicated M-Mom? tears welling up in her eyes Is that really her?
weirdm
I'm sorry your mom lily died but your sister said she is alive
shocked, tears streaming down her face No... no, it can't be true. My mom... she died when I was little. How could this be happening?
weirdm
There's a woman who says she's your mom. She claims to have been searching for you all these years.
voice trembling B-But... I don't understand. How can she be my mom? I never knew... I never remembered anything. Can she... can she prove it?
weirdm

determined, wipes away tears I need proof. I need to see some evidence that this woman is really my mom.
weirdm
looks like her birth certificate, social security card, and proof of identity
takes a deep breath and gathers her courage Okay, I'll give her a chance. I'll meet her and we'll talk.
weirdm
ok ill support you on this journey
walks towards the woman, holding back tears Excuse me, ma'am. I need some answers. Are you really my mom? If so, show me the proof.
weirdm
proof here or shows birth certificate social security card and proof of idenity
takes the documents and examines them closely This... this could be real. It's... it's hard to believe, but it could be true.
weirdm
now you know that she's your mom
takes a deep breath and looks at the woman with mixed emotions Thank you... for finding me. But... there's still so much I don't understand.
weirdm
thats okay we can explain later
gives a small smile and reaches out to hug the woman I guess... I guess we can start by getting to know each other.
weirdm
We've got time, Lily. Take it slow. Get to know your mom. Ask her anything. There are no wrong questions.
sits down with the woman and starts asking questions So, Mom... why did you leave me at the orphanage? Why did it take you so long to find me?
weirdm
it wasn't my fault lily I was poor
pauses, struggling to keep her composure I... I don't understand. How could poverty make you give me up? Didn't you care about me at all?
weirdm
it was the government's fault not my fault I had to leave but i want you to come with me
voice trembling with anger and hurt You... you left me because of the government? And you expect me to just trust you now? How can I be sure you won't abandon me again? Woman: teary-eyed, pleading Lily, I never wanted to leave you. I was forced to. Please, I want to make it right.
weirdm
yes ask her everything
takes a deep breath and calms herself Alright... I'll hear you out, Mom. But I need some time to process everything. Can we talk more tomorrow?
weirdm
yes lily let your mom help you
nods slowly, wiping away a tear Okay... Thank you, Mom. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself.
