Nine years old. Kitchen table. Brothers and sisters.
Strange people. Social workers. Mother...please let
them eat first before they go.

Excited; too excited to eat.
A child, smarter/older than her years but still a child,
knowing for a while this moment would come...
wanting this moment to come...

Can I take these shoes with me? Can I take this lunch box with me?
Excited; too excited to go.

Her mother hugging her tightly knowing she has to go;
the girl not feeling too sad, just excited...
too excited to go with these strange people.

Later on the girl gets a more clear picture.
She wishes no one would get removed from their parents...
sometimes not even she...
Excited; too excited to see it's all of God's plan in the end.
Excited; too excited knowing it was for her to have a better life.
