Necklace From Mom Opens Unexpectedly After 25 Years
Frozen
She heard a snap and felt the necklace fall away from her neck and onto the carpet. He stepped away from her and watched with a smile on his face. Then he dropped the knife he had been holding.
She was frozen in place. She hadn’t had the best relationship with her mom, but she realized then how much she should have spoken to her while she still had the time.
Growing Up
Born in Little River, California, Daisy Shaw didn’t have an easy childhood. She had been only three when her parents separated.
She lived with her 29-year-old mother in a studio apartment in Los Angeles, but some things didn’t make her the best mother. She had grown depressed and used substances to try and feel better.
Seven
Daisy went to school feeling tired and hungry, but it took a while before anyone noticed what living with her mother was doing to her. Child Protection Services were called, and she was soon sent to a foster home.
She was only seven when she started building up a wall around her. The only thing she had to remember her mom by was her antique locket.
She felt responsible for her family falling apart, and it wasn’t long before the responsibility she felt became something more.
A Change From Within
Daisy was surrounded by kids enjoying boat rides and picnics with their parents. She noticed other girls going to prom and families going to fairs.
Something changed inside her, and she started hating her mother and blaming her for her ruined childhood.
When she heard of her mother’s passing, she felt nothing. Her hatred had grown because her childhood seemed like a blur. The anger kept being fueled from within, but it wouldn’t always be that way.
The Boy Next Door
It was on her twenty-seventh birthday when Daisy met Klaus. As her neighbor, she had wanted them to become friends because of the smell of his cooking.
Daisy was fascinated by him and how he could wear a leather jacket in the Los Angeles heat. It wasn’t long before she realized she liked him, but she should have known better.
