I’m a little scared but I know you will be okay for now.
Mother, keep fighting.
“We have not even begun to see the disaster we made for ourselves. You are all the things I can’t stand.”
“Words could never hurt so much,” was my reply. I was unsure if this would be the last time I would ever see her again. Either way, I was content. I had two choices, walk away or stay and fight. The one thing she will never understand, I had already lost. She loved him and somehow I had made peace with that.
I wonder now, if she could have given me one last chance, where would we be? That is the curse of never trying, you never know.
