This is Fruitycake. I’ve learned with Girl Person that when memories come up in her mind about Brickle and Digby, usually, it starts with funny or happy things she mentions.
But then, the memories make her miss them even more. And she gets sad again.
Boy Person tries to be stronger. He knows he has to take care of us. Not just that he has to. But he wants to. I really love him.
Yesterday, the persons had to go back to school. They had one more part of their test that they had to do. They had to speak for a few minutes and talk about themselves.
And Boy Person’s speech was this:
My Story
My name is Nate. I was born in Tampa, Florida in the United States. I grew up on a vegetable farm. We had little money, but we still got to travel to different places. As a child, traveling was my favorite time. I was happy, but wanted more. When I was older, I married a beautiful girl from Florida. We both loved animals and travel. Together, we built a beautiful house in an orange tree grove. We were happy, but wanted more. We decided to sell our house and travel the United States. For eight years, we traveled. We traveled with our two dogs Peanut Butter Brickle and Digby Pancake. Each day was new and exciting. We were happy, but wanted more. Then we saw a photo of an old empty house for sale in Italy. We loved it right away. The change has been difficult but exciting. We have made new friends. Both animals and people. We are learning so much about this part of the Earth. We will continue to travel to learn even more. We are happy now. But is there more? My story continues…
You can probably guess what part Boy Person started crying at. He had tried to be strong lately and keep busy. But he was holding in too much. And sometimes, one emotion can cause another. And you just have to feel them all.
What would you say about yourself if you had this speech to do?
I won’t make you speak Italian. But I would like to know more about you. I bet you don’t talk about yourself much do you? Maybe you’re afraid of feeling the feels. But be proud of who you are. And the person you are.
We have some really uncertain times in the next week. We will explain in more blogs thru the weekend. The persons will. For now…I sincerely want to learn about you. Ready? Go!
