This little man right here

He knew I needed him. We have been in the middle of a almost 36 hour fight simply because for the first time in a year dad said something to grandma when she went off on Rosie. Grandma ended up shouting to mom a hour ago was she getting a divorce, mom replied of course not. Well, she cannot stay here then. Me and Rose went outside and hid, I did a much needed deep clean of the coop. Branch never left my side. I have cried into his feathers today and he has just "purred". Well, the chicken equivalent of a purr. I'm back in and he is asleep on my lap. Mom and Rose went to the store and dad is in his room napping. Everyone please forgive me for saying this, I have prayed for this day to eventually come. We have done everything possible for her and it has never been good enough. The things she has said to me or called me when I willing stepped in to take the brunt of it so she would leave Rosie alone will haunt me forever. I know she has dementia, but the majority of the downright hurtful things have been said when she has had moments of clarity and she knew full well what she was saying.
