And then my mother came home

It was in the WW 2. We had just received the news: my dad was dead in war. While reading it out loud my mom began to cry and sat down on the floor. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, and opened her arms so I could give her a hug. She hold me very tight and said to me that she would take care of us, that she would get a job so we didn’t have to move to grandma. Grandma was a very strict woman, and she never liked me. Momma really tried to find a job but no one wanted a woman in work. We didn’t have many money and I had to go around on the streets and beg, but that didn’t give enough money to live for. Soon we had to move to grandma. She lived in a big house and had lots of money. But it wasn’t comfortable to live there. Yes she had a nice big house.. but we didn’t feel like we were welcome. It didn’t take long before my mother could take it anymore, and one day she was gone. I discovered that she had left when she didn’t come down for breakfast in the morning. I went to her room and saw that she had left a note on the bed. On the note were written: my dear daughter. It is with pain in my heart that I leave you here alone. But I can’t take it anymore. I’m sorry that I leave you alone here with your grandma.. but I can’t live here anymore and I’m not able to take care of you alone. I will always love you. From the woman who loves you more than anything else: your mother.
