My younger sister is the best gift that I've ever
had in my entire life. She is wonderful. I remember when my mother
told me, Janet I'm pregnant". I was happy, and really exited
for my mother because she was pregnant again and of course for the
new baby, the day that I new it l told everybody about my new brother.
Well the 9 months were passing little by little and her bally began
to grew up, It was amazing because when my mother was pregnant of
my other younger brother I couldn't pay attention because I was 2
years old, the day when she born was the best moment in my short
life.
I remember that day clearly, as it
would have happened yesterday, when I got home after school my whole
family was in our small house
it seemed like a party, and definitely it was. My dad, my mother
and family were there, talking beautiful things about my sister.
Well the months passed again and my mother started to find a job
because our economic situation wasn't good and my parents didn't
have enough money to support our family sometimes we didn't have
too much to eat and, the worst thing at these moment was that my
father, my brother and my little sister got sick, ever since l
realized what was happening in my family. I sad myself "I can help my
family". So l started to take care of my sister every afternoon
after my school because my mother found a job in the afternoon.
I noticed how complicated it was, taking care a baby who was just
5 or 6-months and I was just 10 years old. That situation scared
me too much, sometimes I cried because that responsibility was enormous
for me, but I knew that I didn't have many options to choose, my
love for her and my family gave me strength and I never gave up,
but I have to say it was really hard.
When I was doing my homework she was sleeping close to me, when
she started to cry I had to give her milk or just carried on my arms
whispering a song. When she grew up I used to put her on my legs
and I continued doing my homework. As a beautiful little plant she
was growing up, I thought everything was going to be better, but
it wasn't, instead of that it turned a little bit more complicated,
because she start to called me MOM in front of everybody. In fact
she thought that I was her mother, It was so embarrassing and horrible
for me, because the people used to murmur about me, they say poor
little girl, “She is too young to have a baby" then they
asked to my how old is your daughter" I used to answered very
politely to them! NO ma'am! Or! NO SIR! She is not my daughter she
is my younger sister, but she call me mom because she spend a lot
of time with me every day. Thanks god she's just 15 years old last
week, but the funniest thing is that she is still calling me MOM,
I don't know why but I don't mind, because thanks of that our relationship
is getting strong everyday, Always I say to her "I will being
your mom and you are going to be my daughter forever!"
