Sam My little darlin is scared. She is in pain too. Not physical but mental and emotional. I wish I could take it all away from her. When Jared called asking me for use of the cabin, I didn't really like the idea. Some stranger on my land. Not what I wanted. The first couple of days, I let her be. I let her get comfortable. The first few visits, she barely talked. Just polite sentences. One day I just started asking questions and telling her about the land. She listened intently and asked questions. She actually seemed interested. After that, I would visit her every day. She is like a granddaughter to me. I'm glad she came into my life. I made her a promise to protect her and I will. I will be here for as long as she needs me. By the time we got back to my place, it was going dark.
