The Best Day of My Life (this is personal guys)
It was August 28th around 6:15 am and my nerves were shot. “I have to be up in two hours,” I had thought to myself. I was not prepared for the eventful day that was soon to come. 6:45 am, and I rolled back over, 7:15 came and I rolled over again. Sleep was a lost hope. After staring at the ceiling for another hour, 8:15 finally came. I decided to wear my favorite yellow dress because yellow was a happy color; and I was about to have the best day of my life.
With curled hair and painted toenails I walked into the kitchen with a bop. Cameron was eating a cereal bar and Jack was blowing bubbles in his milk; I was not phased by the boys because after today, I would no longer see them again. By 8:45 Callie and I were headed to the car for our two hour drive. We hopped into the car and began our journey. I was trembling with nervousness, but so excited I could not contain myself; My ADD was at an all time high (long car rides were not my forte,) as I was bouncing in my seat. After awhile I began to feel the exhaustion arrive caused by aftermath of my staring contest with the ceiling earlier that morning. Suddenly I heard, “Wake up! We are here!” I wiped the drool off of my pillow and looked in the mirror to make sure I looked my best. In big bold letters the words, Dyersburg Courthouse, were plastered on the huge white building before me. I was scared so I grabbed Callie’s hand to walk me inside. As I walk in there were people everywhere, like mosquitoes in June. People were so rushed, upset, loud, and disorientated. I could not understand why. The courthouse was the best place to be for a kid like me. It meant you could finally have your forever. In the midst of my daydreaming my lawyer came to me and in a sweet, loving voice she said, “Lotti it is time, are you ready?”
Ready could not describe the feeling I had. I walked into the courtroom with big eyes and a happy heart. In the corner of my eye I could see them standing there and feel them staring at me. I kept trying not to act scared, but there was so much going on at once. I immediately feel my eyes fill with tears and my face became a river. Callie hugged me, and although I knew it was my last time to hug her as her child, I knew these parents and this life was going to be one to remember. As the judge banged his gavel on the podem, I knew I had finally found the perfect home. I walked up to my new parents and hugged them. The best day of my life was the day I had found MY home.
and then I woke up.
