Cage of Love (2000)
“Andrews Copyright © September 2001 ISBN 0-7434-4869-3 .
My mother died when I was only twelve. We had just begun to enter that womanly magical place together where she would be my guide. Through her eyes, her wisdom and experience, I would know where to stand and where to walk.
“The world has always been full of minefields for any young girl, Madge, but it’s so much truer today than ever,” she told me the year she passed away.
She had a horrible virus in her heart that destroyed it slowly, weak...ening and aging her right before Daddy’s eyes and mine. In her final months, I felt more like the mother taking care of her, the child.
She taught me so much so quickly, realizing that her days were ticking down like some windup clock. In fact, the moment she died, I looked at the clock and memorized the hour and the minute forever and ever.
My mother anticipated it all and began teaching me how to care for myself and my father almost the day she was diagnosed. For a long time, she had me fooled.MoreLess
