I Left My Heart With Them

Dr. Kelly was the sweetest doctor out of them all. She did tell me things that not many kids are suppose to hear but I think she thought it was best that I knew. I accepted the fact that I wasn't going to live much longer and I think Dr. Kelly wanted to be there knowing that I would need someone. I never had anyone, which was not a good thing at all. I would read books about kids who had mommies and daddies but I had none, just a doctor who broke all the rules to keep me loved in some kind of way. Dr. Kelly was basically the only one that cared and I wasn't just a doctor experiment to her like I was to the other doctors.
I wanted to say that Dr. Kelly was my mommy but she always told me that she could lose her job if she had a "relationship" with me. But she always would come everyday and give me presents. Books, toys, and just small things that could be easily hidden. But once I turned four, I lost Dr. Kelly. She had died from her cancer that I didn't know she had. I also found out from listening to the other doctors that she did not have any kids. I knew that once I heard that, I had the understanding that I was her daughter. Maybe not for real, but to her I was all she had left and she was all that I had as well.
