Growing up...part 16...

Their mom received a call from their social worker, because their name was on top of the list for the next low rental housing, they found them a place.
The family was so happy because after a month of being separated, they can now embrace.
They were sent to a 5 1/2 appartment for six months and loved it there.
They didn't care if they had to share rooms at least they were all together again, being apart they couldn't bare.
After six months, they put them into a 3 story townhouse, moving day had begun.
Moving day was memorable and fun.
A few years passed on,
Their mother had received a letter from her husband whom she thought was dead.
How could he have survived it, she could not get out the images from her head.
He said he was coming down for a visit and would like to see her and the children.
He said he had missed them all so much, and is a changed man.
She was kind of scared to see him, and was scared how the children would react.
Him leaving brought changes to everyone, and brought on a big impact.
Her children were now 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 years old.
When he last saw them they were 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 years old.
He missed 3 to 4 years of their lives.
And missed many years from his wife.
Now he has his life in Toronto, Ontario.
And there life is in laval, Quebec,
Those were all the years he had wrecked.
The same day she received the letter, he had arrived at their home .
A man dressed in black, and hair of snow white.
He had so aged, being 20 years older then his wife and carried along with all his strife.
A man of almost 58 years old looked to be around 60ish is what he appeared in front of his children.
Scared they were, but let him in again.
