Most of all they loved me. They took me in when I wasn’ t even remotely their responsibility. They cared for me like I was their own granddaughter. It might have been easier for them to have let the social worker take me to a foster home that night. I’ ll always be so grateful they took a chance and helped me so much in the short time I lived
with them. Mr. and
Grammy and Grandad made sure I had everything I needed, but I didn’ t feel like they loved me …
Mrs. Newman are reminders to me still to this day, what it means to be selfless, kind, and loving even when it’ s not called for.
I met my grandparents for the first time a month after my mom died. They were my new legal guardians. I was going to have to move away from the only town I’ d ever known to go to Woodbridge and live with them. Once again I was scared. I didn’ t even know these people I was going to go live with. They seemed nice enough, but why didn’ t they ever see my mom or me? Why was I just now meeting them? I had more questions than answers.

It was really hard living with my grandparents at first.
