p_sjMy hand rested upon my head. The throbbing was ever so present. It hurt to even think. The fatigue had finally set into my body, and even moving the slightest made me wince in pain.undefined

p_sjI heard whispers in the dark. It sounded like two women were talking. I could barely make out what they were saying, and I didn’t recognize their voices.undefined

p_sj“She isn’t good… No, I don’t think she can..”undefined

p_sj

p_sj“… she has to get better first… conceive…”undefined

p_sj“… maybe there is a chance… Pregnancy…. I have a supplement that will help… It can carry…”undefined

p_sjMother made my father and me promise to look after each other. I had done everything I could to care for him over the years, but… it seemed that I was never able to do enough to please him, and he just hated who I was.undefined
