“Andrews @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Momma's Story . After the grandmother's departure, we did not know what to do, or what to say, or how to feel, except unhappy and miser- able.

Pitiful that I could find a straw to grasp in such a smile as that one.

It's humiliating to be whipped like a slave, or an animal, and by your own parents. But don't worry that such a whipping will occur again, for it never will. Only this one time. I would suffer a hundred times over what whip weals I bear to live again those fifteen years of happiness I had with your father, and with you.MoreLess
