“This
is Egypt, she is eleven years old, she lost her parents in Katrina, they were
all huddled on the roof of her house where her parents had tied her to the
chimney to keep her safe from the high winds. When all of a sudden an 80mph
gust of wind grabbed both of her parents, pulling them into the rushing water,
where they drown. She has been living on the streets until we found her about a
week ago. So I will leave you with her for fifteen minutes.” Once Lia finished
talking she exited the room, leaving the little girl and Macy alone.
Egypt
didn’t take her seat, she just stood there for a few seconds gazing deep into
Macys’ eyes, when suddenly, she just ran up and hugged Macy. She squeezed Macy
so tight, she just wanted to feel loved so bad after losing her parents a few
years prior. So Macy just held her there, holding tears back to hard, she
couldn’t even imagine watching your parents be swept away like that. Watching
them scream and die, and not being able to do anything, because Egypt was only
four at the time.
Macy
knew that she wanted an eight year old, but she had quickly fallen in love with
Egypt, she was very beautiful, and so broken, and very lovey, which is exactly
what Macy needed. After they had talked for a few minutes, Macy just got up and
left the room, off to find Lia.
