Tucker is expecting Elsie any minute now. He’s finishing up with dad and tidying up the house. From his research on Elsie he can see her credentials are intact. From what he’s heard about her; she’s the best at what she does; this is no matter of opinion it’s a given fact. Elsie put in much hard work to become the very best she could be. She faced many trials but determination has always been her key. Many tried along the way to hold her back from achieving her dreams; with the guidance of God, she was able to block out the distractions; or so it seems. Elsie has read the intake on Tucker and his father; she has no doubt in her mind that this meeting will turn out well and she has already chosen her caregiver to relieve Tucker. Elsie started out as a caregiver herself. She knows all they encounter all they endure on a daily basis and so she sees them as more than “just help.” This doesn’t mean she allows them to do as they please; she has Faith in God and she trusts in Him and her beliefs. Taliah is the perfect match for this family. Just because she thinks so doesn’t mean it will be. The family must approve as much as Elsie. This is just part one of today’s meeting; will Henry and Tucker approve? Guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Another chapter in the life and write of this story. Nicely written a footstep closer to its unraveling.
Good write GS. Does KP know Tucker? And how did she get in here?! lol.
GenXer, this feels heartfelt and grounded…a snapshot of care, faith, and quiet perseverance. It moves with the rhythm of real lives intersecting. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
