Meet Josemeana

~
Its 3:45am.
She yells, "No, No, No. Get me out of dis dawkness. Somebody tun awn deh light, please!"

I am angry at myself for forgetting to leave the light on for her. I turn the light on and I don't recognize my own mom. She looks mean. It's Josemeana.

She says, "Get out, get out, why you gat me in dis dawkness. I want to go home now." I say, "Come let's go to the bathroom." She agrees. We are at the toilet. I tell here to sit and she doesn't want to. I tell her to sit down. She says, "No. Dat thing is cold." I say yes I know, but you have to sit to use it. She sits. I walk her back to bed. She does not want to lay down. I take her hand to guide her back to bed. She yells, "Oww. You huttin me". I let her go. I say OK you dont have to go to sleep. I'm tired. She follows me out of her room to my bed. I lay down and tell her to have a seat. She sits for 30 seconds. She starts to pace. I'm tired. She talks under her breath. I can hear, "I going home. I want to home." I tell her to sit down. She keeps pacing.

Its 6am.
I'm tired. I ask her is she wants to go the bathroom. She says yes. After she uses the bathroom. I guide her to her bed. She lays down. I tuck her in, she says "Thank you, God Bless You", and she goes to sleep. I go to sleep.

Its 7am.
She's up. I go to her room. She sings out to me, "Good Morning!" I am relieved. Its Josephina.
