HEART STATION

For two weeks now, my ex-babysitter, who took care of me since I was about two years old until I was about five or six, has been helping my mother out with house work because she had been dismissed from her earlier job because the kids were old enough to take care of themselves. The  babysitter agency set her up with a to-be-mommy whose baby is due this year and she’ll begin in September when the baby turns 3 months old. Well, for now, she’s been earning some money here with us, and I love spending time with her because she’s so creative and fun. But now I have a very weighted consience.

She has always been a very happy and bubbly person, of course, everyone has their ups and downs, but she always manages to lift the heavy atmosphere of our house and cheer us all up. I believe my sister doesn’t like that that much and acts all spoiled and immature whenever she’s near, sometimes resulting in a fight that Regina, (The babysitter’s name) has to take and not say anything. Regina has a very dark sense of humor too, and Aydee, (My sister) being immature and literal as she is, always takes it seriously and tells my mother everything Regina is joking about as if it were for real.

My mother didn’t like it one bit, so yesterday, she told Regina not to return anymore, and Regina got very upset. We didn’t believe her when she told us, but I still asked the cause, (Just to be sure) and if it was because of Aydee, (Which it was) and she said “No, it’s just because I have some work to do and I’m visiting the kids I used to take care of.” It was pretty heartbreaking, even though I didn’t believe her. When it was time to say goodbye to her, I didn’t even make a big deal and was with my laptop when she kissed my forehead to say goodbye. Now that I see that it was true, I feel really bad for not giving her a proper goodbye, at least. I made my mother feel guilty and call her, and all my mother told me that she answered was “I understand.”
