(Please read the beginning to understand the story.)
I couldn't believe it 6 months away from mum, I've never been away from my mum since I was born and though I was 9 at the time - it was sure going to be tough on the both of us.
Mum had to go into hospital, a special sort of unit, until this day I had no clue what, but the doctors had no clue what mum's condition was - so they had to do some diagnostics.
I was not going to speak nor see her and it wasn't like I could call her, she wouldn't be able to hear and I wasn't allowed to visit. I tried to be brave and when mum dropped me off at my nans house and said goodbye. I broke down, but by then she was already gone.
My nan isn't the loving sort of nan nor was my grandad. They had a routine, get up, eat, watch boring Indian channels (wasn't allowed to watch anything), eat and then sleep. That was it and as they were too old to take me to school and it was way too far, I didn't go to school for about 3 months.
I was missing mum like crazy, worried out of mind and I just was bored stiff too. My youngest uncle (he lived with them also but he was also sick with a rare muscle disease but thats entire different story) he tried to cheer me up but he was so poorly himself I didn't have the heart to keep bothering him.
When my social worker came to visit, I burst into tears asking her if there was a way I could see my mum. She asked if she could use the phone and she called the hospital - when she passed the receiver back to me looking all puzzled and all I heard was my mum trying to say 'Kia I loove yov' my heart did a loopy loop. I kept saying 'mama I miss you please come home, come home.'
I could hear in the background my nan complaining in regards to the phone bill but I didn't care, I kept trying to listen to mum trying to speak on the other end but the time I realised my nan press the button to cut off the line and it went dead.
I was so mad, anger shot through me like alighting bolt and I stormed out of the room. My social worker came after me, and I just shouted at her saying to 'please take me away just take me out of here!'
Oh how I regretted in saying that...
