While Millie was India, my mom continued to study for her residency entrance exam and eventually passed the exam. Around the same time, my dad received a job offer in Maryland. Before my parents moved to Maryland, my mom decided it was time to bring Millie back to America after spending the past two years in India.

Back in 2012, I live in a town called Middleburg, Florida. May 27th was my brother’s birthday, so, to celebrate, we were going to his favorite restaurant, the ‘Jacksonville Ale House’. We stopped at a gas station before heading there to pick up something. My brother and I stayed inside the car, and it seemed like my parents took forever inside the gas station. Whenever they finally came out, they had a woman around late 20s and a little girl with them. They both smelled horrid and looked like they had not showered in a couple days. I remember my parents saying, “we are going to take them to the west side of Jacksonville and drop them off in the Walmart parking lot”. The woman and little girl had been kicked out of their house by the woman’s husband, who had worked for my dad in the past. When we went and dropped off the woman, we gave her our number and said to call us if she needed us to watch the little girl. Her name was Sam. We went on with our night and right as we were leaving the Ale house, we got a call from the woman asking if we could watch Sam overnight. She came and stayed with us, and her mom did not call us back for a couple days. Those couple days turned into weeks, eventually months. My parents started taking foster parenting classes and eventually called CPS (child protective services). That is when Sam became my foster sister.

We had a very good relationship right up until Christmas in 2010. We had been sledding at Community Park in Idaho Falls, and it was time to go. She told me that I couldn’t go down the hill again so anger welled up inside me. At the back of the Durango, with my sled in the back, and Gina in front of me trying to calm me down, I kicked her in the shin. This lady came over and she was on her phone with the police. Then when the police showed up, they put me in handcuffs, in the back of the cruiser. Gina was then spoken to by the officer.
