One day around dinner time the husband and wife began to fight. All the kids were upstairs since it was almost  time for dinner. They all then went downstairs because they were asked to.When they all got down stairs they began to cry.The kids stayed down stairs until they heard there mom was leaving to just go stay at her mom's house.All the kids where sitting at the bottom of the stairs and was listening to them fight.All the kids were left with there dad.A house that now was colder and where there is no mother to hold her children.The mother came back the next day to take the kids to school.The kids ask are you and dad going to get a divorce mom.The mom looks at the kids and says yes I am sorry. Also she says I am filing for one today.


There was a house with six bedrooms now colder than ever before .A big backyard in the year of 2018 in the month of september now bare.A man that worked in the oil field hurting more than ever before .Also the man who had five kids in his home only had the two oldest ones .His wife ran daycare in there home but no more will that be .Her husband came home every two weeks from work now stayed at his.When he came home he expected the house to be clean and dinner done but now he does it himself.A couple of days down the road he was not so tired and did things around the house and also spent times with his kids now did not do to much.

 

 A month down the road they sold their house.The husband moves to denver they  can not take any kids with him since he works in the oil field.He will come and see them when he gets off every other two weeks.This was a change for everyone the kids shoved into a smaller house now having to share rooms.The kids missed there dad very much thought they would never see him again.Instead of him coming back in 2 weeks he did not come back for 2 months. The kids still did not believe there parents were divorced,it was like a nightmare they had at night but the worst one yet.Also both of the parents already had new partners.Another thing the kids missed there old house.That was bigger and also had their own rooms.

 

Christmas came around the kids dad came to visit them a couple days before christmas.They spent christmas day with their mom there dad got them for two days.So the kids got two christmas.It was differently not the same christmas as they used to have.It was still a good christmas though.By this time the kids are starting to get used to it. They still hurt from it though.The oldest ones think of it most.


The divorce trail was long and hard for everyone.There mother now can barely put food on the table because there father was not there and did not help out.A family that was once there now broken into many pieces.A family that used  to go on trips together did not anymore.In fact there was not family just a mess that need to be fixed and mened.


The kids where always asking about when their dad is coming to see them next.There mom did not know.The main thing she was focus on was the kids.That night came along and one of her kids where not feeling good.She thought she just had the flu.Three days after  she was still not feeling well.Her mom took her to the doctor,the doctor ran many test.Found out her appendix where about to burst.Her daughters name was kayla and she was only nine.The other 4 kids stayed at home and there aunt came to sit with them.The kids waited to get the news about kayla they only knew she was in the emergency room.They wanted to text and call there mom but since she was there they did not.The kids finally got told what was wrong with kayla.They were worried for her. The kids mom did not come home that night.There aunt will watch them until kayla is out of the hospital.The kids mom did not come back for two weeks.It felt like the longest two weeks of their lives.Kayla had to be careful since she had surgery for her appendix.The kids where glad kayla was home and there mom.


Kayla wanted to see her dad since she been in the hospital.Her dad just got off of work and was in town.Her dad came and got the kids and took them out to dinner.They had chinese food at golden fortune. Also went ice skating.
