After being in New York for a week in a half. Once I get my mother settled in the guest room, it seems like Stef's been here cause the refrigerator and cabinets were packed with groceries because I didn't have time to do any food shopping. I'm in the kitchen making dinner mom said she wanted something lite so I decided to bake some salmon with a fresh garden salad on the side, l'm trying to put out of my mind when I found in the basement in the box. I knew I couldn't go to Stef about this without enough evidence for now l would let it be and enjoy my time with mother, l promised Olivia l would give her a call after l got back in town. I'll call her before I turn in for the night, Alexandra how do you work this remote control on this 67"inch flat screen TV in the den mother asks me
I put the salmon in the oven and went to see what she was talking about. I enter in the family room and picked up the regular remote and pressed the power button and handed the controller over to mom, after explaining the direction on how everything works. Once she got the hang of it, l went to change out my clothes into something comfortable. I through on gray jogging pants matching hoodie, and put my braided into a French braid. So many different thoughts were running through my mind. I could never turned the lawyer part of my brain, l couldn't believe my birthday was in three weeks l would be turning thirty -two and my father won't be with us to celebrate this time he'll remain in our hearts forever
