Worthy of Me (11 page)

I closed the journal and wrapped it up in a fancy gift-wrap, I put it into a wooden box and put a silver lock on it. I waddled my heavily pregnant self down the stairs and out to the yard where Aiden waited for me with a shovel in his hand.

My handsome husband smiled at me, his dimples peaked out at me and his eyes sparked full of love as he took me in his arms and kissed my forehead.

“All done?” I asked.

“Yep, why do I feel like we’re burying a body,” he frowned.

I handed him the locked box and smiled at him. “Because we are.”

Aiden put the box in the hole he dug and covered it with the rich earthy soil. Once he was done I handed him the seeds and he sprinkled them over the square of freshly dug earth.

“We’re burying the old me and we are going to watch our new life and new me grow.”

Aiden smiled at me and held me close. “This is it, Mia. Our lives start now.”

Worthy of Me
is a book that has been a long time coming. It is a book I dedicate to every child that did not understand what was going on when their happy family was suddenly nonexistent. Children are brought into this world by two people who are supposed to protect, love and cherish them; those people are their parents. They love unconditionally even when they do not receive the love they give. When a child gets hurt he/she cries out for mom or dad. When a child is happy he/she runs to share that happiness with mom or dad. In some cases divorce/separation is a must, sometimes even a blessing. But a child can only understand that if someone sits him/her down and explains to them that this is why mommy and daddy cannot be together anymore.

Mia Scott learnt of her parents’ separation in the worst way possible, through the highschool rumour mill. Her parents did not explain anything to
her, instead she watched her mom resort to alcohol and suicide and watched her father become more and more distant from her. She felt abandoned and confused. She grew up in an environment where she felt unwanted. Thereafter she not only suffered physically but emotionally. Sadly for Mia, her parents thought they were doing what was best for her. But no child is better off without a parent. No child deserves to watch their mom or dad become so selfish as to only see their happiness but not their child’s happiness.

These children become violent, suicidal, depressed and some even resort to accepting physical and emotional violence from strangers because they believe that that is all they deserve.

The thing about bringing a child in this world is that you take responsibility for that little human. How you shape them and what you teach them impacts on them. Not every child is lucky enough to have the intelligence to do better and be different. Some think that what you teach them is the right thing—so teach them the RIGHT thing for them and not the right thing for YOU.

Big decisions like divorce, separation, a new boyfriend/girlfriend and even a simple decision as moving house—talk to them. Tell them why you’re doing and ask them how they feel about it.
ask them whether or not they are comfortable… then make your decisions.

In the beginning when I said I wanted to become a writer, not many people were willing to support the idea. A few smiled and others were just indulgent. I asked for help and most of the time I didn’t get it. So I persevered. I wrote my books, I made my covers and made the effort to tell people about my stories. But a handful of people did believe in me;

I want to thank my mom for getting me my laptop and encouraging me every time I thought of a new plot.
For enduring hours upon hours of me typing, snapping and probably ignoring her while I immersed myself in writing.

To my father thank you for everything.

To Nicolan, you are truly the definition of the words;
Best Friend
. You stood by me, were a shoulder to cry on, you understood and till this day, you are always there to make all the bad things seem not so bad at the end of it all. I thank you for showing me the light. 

To
Yajna Anirudhra, Saranya and Shikara, thank you for putting up with all my questions, my drama-queen moments and for putting up with my quirky ideas.

To Amazon Kindle for creating a platform were indie authors can showcase their work.

And finally to whoever downloaded this eBook. Thank you for taking the time to read my work.
