Heart Bones

All of the memories that I have from when I was a child came back to me when reading Heart Bones. It was like I was living my life all over again But at the same time it gave me Hope. As I was reading, I could feel the sadness and fear then happiness and joy and love and heartache I could feel all the emotions that I once felt from the lines that were written across the paper, I could feel the physical aspect of holding my stomach because I was starving each night crying because there was nothing else you could do, I could feel the hands that used to touch and take advantage her as they once did me.  I could feel how scared I was as the hands were grasping me when I couldnt say no, I couldnt ask for help there was no one around. I can remember feeling fear looking over my shoulder just like she did when someone comes up behind her and I can remember growing up to young to the young girl adjusting to her new life, starting to feel loved, I can remember always asking the questions of "What are we having for lunch?" " what are we having for breakfast?" Just so I could make sure that I wasn't going to go hungry that night.
And I could feel the love that I didn't have to beg for.

Like the rest of us we all want something that we can relate to, that we can always come back to, something or someone that understands us and the things we have dealt with and have gone through.

Some might argue that hearts can't grow Bones, but I believe that everyone grows Heart Bones but, the only way of knowing that you have them is by the pain caused from the broken bone.
