The story was
told by everyone.
It was a common
one.
She ruined her
life. Her children’s
lives were too, ruined,
ruined forever.
Mother would never
be able to teach
us the ways of
life.
We knew that life
wasn’t always
sweet. We knew
Mother lived the
bitter sour side of
life.
The story of Mother
should never
be told by the children,
whose lives were ruined,
ruined forever.
