HelpRe: Making a Family - Step 6
in reply to a message by Casey
I'm very sad to give you all the news that one of my best friends was recently killed in a car crash. She was an absolutely wonderful person and I miss her more every day. I wanted to say thank you for all your kind messages and memories of her, we will never ever forget how short and precious her life was.
So a couple of days after the funeral her solicitor called and asked for me and Tom to come and see him. He then gave us the news that in my friend's will she named us legal guardians to her 15-year-old daughter, Maisie Rhiannon. Maisie's very upset and also kind of angry that her mum has been taken from her because she was her only family, but slowly she's beginning to get used to the idea of living with us. She absolutely adores Dylan and he thinks she's wonderful, but she and Ben aren't getting on too well at the moment because Ben can wind her up a bit sometimes.
Hopefully everything will sort itself out, especially now that we finished setting the basement up for Maisie and she doesn't have to stay in Ben's room any more. She helped pick out the paint and the bedcovers when I took her shopping last weekend, and I have to admit her new room is exactly what I would have wanted when I was that age - all blue and silver and white with loads of space for her guitar and her movie camera.
