I remember...

I remember having two sisters and one brother.
I remember when my sister ran into the corner of a wall really hard, it left a mark on her cheek that looks like a dimple.
I remember having birthday parties when I was younger.
I remember playing dolls with my best friend.
I remember when my best friends dog had puppies, we played house with them instead and we'd put them in baskets and strollers.
I remember my sharing a room with my little sister, I always got blamed for her mess.
I remember when we were having the addition put onto our house. It was all just like one big room, me and my brother and sister were running around in it, just having fun and laughing.
My parents did foster care for 10years of my life. I remember a few sets of kids specifically that were really hard to let go of. Basically my whole life kids were coming and leaving my house, it was a pretty hard thing to deal with. You love someone and get really close to them, they were like my siblings. But then they'd have to leave and go back to their biological families. My family did foster care seeking to adopt, after 10years our family is finally complete. It's really big, I have a lot of siblings. We first adopted my brother, and then we adopted a sib group of five kids. I have two biological sisters, so I have eight siblings.
I remember being happy.
I remember thinking everything was finally coming together.
I remember crying, being worried and scared for them.
I remember never knowing what's going to happen next.
I remember the last time I saw my grandma before she passed away. She had cancer.
I remember the day when my grandma died. I remember where I was when my mom called wanting to talk to my dad. I asked her if grandma was okay and she told me yea but I knew she just didn't want to tell me the truth over the phone.
And I remember crying all night long, just missing my grandma.
I remember always being so worried about people I care about, that are having problems.
I remember not being able to get people off my mind. Just trying to figure them out, trying to understand them even just a little bit.
