The Big Old House Evelyn Johnson

Chloe had a moment while relaxing outside the big old house reminiscing about her mom and family she left behind. Just a young girl, she reflected on how her mom would read to her Cinderella and the time they would play in the rain, her Mom would braid her hair and put big ribbons on it. She was very happy, but then she realized that this is gone forever. Chloe had her moments but never to get it back. One time, she remembers dad brought a bucket of blackberries home in his spare time to Mom. She made a delicious pie, which all of them enjoyed. She can remember honeysuckle was in bloom; this smelled so good, daffodil's all sorts of wild flowers, it was all like a dream. Butterflies are landing on your arm or head and hearing the chirping of locust and the sigh of fireflies at night a bright yellow like none other. She remembered her Mom and she would look up at the night sky, and just when you would spot your star, we would make a wish, and her wish would be that she would love to have a brother. Chloe can say her past is behind her, but some things she was taught, she has to hold on to them as her future is ahead, and it is so much brighter.
