Have I Lived A Good Life?
Kendra sat down next to her sister on the sofa and sighed audibly. It was the first moment that she had had to herself in weeks because of her daughter's violent outbursts.
She wondered if she was a good mother. She had one son who was chasing after a man, another son who had the unhealthiest interest in goats, and a daughter who was bordering on insane.
"Lucille have I led a good life?" she asked to the ceiling. "Have I been the best I can be? Because I feel like I made so many mistakes."
She wished that she could hear her sister's reply. She imagined that she would say something along the lines of: "Well behaved women rarely make history Kendra, isn't that what you always say."
And it was true she would always say that when her sister got into trouble at school.
If her words held true then she should make it into the history books, or at the very least have a footnote in someone's biography. Heaven knows she had a few stories to tell from her time.
A crash and a bang from upstairs drew her from her musings, and Kendra stood up and marched up the stairs wondering what fresh adventure was in store for her now with her daughter.
