Loving Parental Tragedy
My mother was always one of the best things about my life as a kid.
As loving as a Labrador, as beautiful as a Persian, and as kind as an EMT, I feel so lucky for having such a generous woman as a parent. Of all my elders, only my father means more to me than her.
I'll never forget that dark night when that cold-blooded killer snuck in our house and shot her in the chest and head. Oh, the curse of crime! Here's hoping that she rests in peace, and I'll see her and dad again someday.
