Short story: Imani's Journey....

As a young lady, she always wanted a good life. But at that time she wasn't financially stable. Her childhood life was a very tough one.
At ten years old, one Sunday morning, Sara went to her and said, "Honey you know life's been very hard for us. I have to go back to school so that when I finish, I could get a good job and take good care of you. I'm leaving you with your Grandma, your Uncle and Aunties. They'll take good care of you." Imani sat there thinking how could her Mom, Sara leave her and go far away from her? She couldn't imagine how she was going to miss her. Sara was going for University in the US.
The night Sara flew to US, Imani had a very bad temperature. The following morning she woke up with chickenpox, her eyes all swollen from crying all night for her Mom. Sara was a very beautiful woman. Her skin well toned up, and very tall. She got married at twenty three years old and had her first daughter Imani. After a few years of marriage, Sarah begun having marital problems with her husband Antonio, Imani's father. Sara couldn't handle the amount of verbal and physical abuse she used to get from her husband, with her two months old baby Imani, Sara moved back into her parents family home.
