Anything It Takes
“Everyone likes to tell me this is such a big responsibility, but I wasn’t thinking about uni or work or anything, all I was doing was thinking that she needed me,” recalled Tommy. Tommy was being more than helpful he wasn’t worried for himself but for Kiarna. He consulted with a legal advisor who suggested him a few ways to get his sister out of this mess. Those ways were about to cost Tommy a lot.
No More Competitions
As per the legal advisor, Tommy was now ready to get over a few legal obstacles and for that, he used all his savings in renting a bigger apartment. Tommy has to stop his training and quit all the competitions; his sole passion. But for him investing in his saving his sister and her baby was more important than investing in his own career. Everything was to be done quickly before the baby is born.
Investing In Relationship
“I’ve spent the last few months working, moving houses, having meetings with different departments, signing forms, being assessed and monitored, chasing funds, setting up her bank accounts, buying baby stuff, furniture, going to hospital and doctor appointments and getting [Kiarna] settled in,” said Tommy. He was doing everything that he had in his hands for her. It was like he forgot about his own life for her. Were all these efforts really going to pay off?
Persistent In Teaching
Tommy was always taking out time of Kiarna to make her feel comfortable in the new environment. Whenever he was free, he used to teach her how to read and write. Not only reading and writing but he started teaching her how to drive as this will help her in long run. With Tommy’s efforts and Kiarna’s hard work, she cleared the driving test and got her learner’s permit. She even got braces and everything seemed to be right to Kiarna now, she was only scared if this happiness would end soon .
Such A Sacrifice
Tommy was too close to becoming an international athlete when he gave up and decided to help his sister. People were criticizing Tommy’s decision as they said he is being emotional and doing a lot more than he should. He was blamed that he is not being practical but Tommy’s priority was taking care of Kiarna and her baby. Tommy has always given preference to his family and that’s what he was doing now. This affected his studies too for some time but he managed to bring it back on track. Soon his patience and all the extreme steps worked out.
Are We A Family?
In all this rushing time Tommy’s family was with him so were his friends. And that’s what mattered the most for the young man who was doing all he could to make Kiarna a legal part of his family. The good news of the baby was around the corner but was Kiarna’s custody going to be approved by then? This was their only concern. With fingers crossed they waited but never stopped.
