Isn't It Funny How Things Come Together?
Surreal.
That pretty much describes the day that I had yesterday in a nutshell.
Tuesday night we had planned to go and pick Kayla up on Wednesday morning. This was so that we could then go up to Conyers so she could see her mom. Her mom was the one who suggested it ... That in itself was completely surreal considering as how the last conversation I had with this woman was less than friendly. So ever since the night we started to plan this, I was nervous as hell. And to add more anxiety to the situation ... Me and Kayla sort of planned to do something that we had been waiting a year to do. ;) .. Ha. So needless to say I was slightly stressed.
Anyways, we go and pick her up and we all hang out for a little while and my house and then Cody's. Cody's family eventually left and the three of us had the house to ourselves. Cody decided to go take a shower and somehow or another me and Kayla ended up in one of the bedrooms ... And well what happened next is none of nobodies business, Just know that it was amazing.
A little later we headed off to Conyers (And had some more amazing-ness ... Many, many times. Ha.) We got lost and it was kind of crazy. The whole time my head was going crazy because I was nervous about what was going to happen when we actually got there to her mom's work. I'm for real ... I just had no idea how things were going to go but I honestly didn't think they would go good. But I knew how much Kayla missed her mom so I sucked it up and decided I'd have to deal with it. Finally after a crazy trip we finally pull up to her mom's work.
Kayla calls her mom and she comes outside. God bless ... When I saw that woman ... It felt like Jackie Chan drop kicked me in my stomach and it took all that I had just to not throw up. At first Amy (Kayla's mom) kind of glared at me and didn't really say anything to me. And we found out that Kayla's Nana had found out and damn I thought we were dead ... Amy was kind of mad that we got busted or whatever but she invited us all in and we all sat down and had some tea ... And I was still nervous and awkward but as time went on it became a little less awkward and I calmed down. And soon we got everything with Kayla's Nana straightened out and everything.
So Amy gets off work and we take her home and we hang out there for a good little bit with her husband and his family. I'll admit it was still a little awkward but things were getting better and it started to seem like me and Amy were sort of like we used to be ... Way back before me and Kayla got in trouble for her sneaking out. That was pretty awesome but what was even better was getting to see Kayla so happy. :)
Amy hugs all of us as we get ready to leave. As we were walking to the car to leave ... Me and Amy are kind of walking behind everyone else and she says to me "If it's meant to be ... It'll happen. Don't give up." And I didn't really know what to say so I said the first thing that came to my head "If I didn't care about your daughter ... I would have given up a long time ago." And with that said we walked to the car and were pretty much on our way.
I thought about that moment the whole ride home and Kayla lay in my arms.
Moments like that make all the effort and hard work and trouble seem worth it. I mean I know her mom doesn't exactly approve of it ... But that leads me to believe that hopefully one day she will. And that just makes me so happy. I mean sure there's still a hard road ahead of me and Kayla but it finally feels like everything is falling into place. And man I couldn't be any happier ...
Love is so amazing ...
