Chapter 120
IF ONLY FOR MYSELF


We had made our farewells — we had been saying farewell, I thought, since the day I pressed the stethoscope to Mandy’s heart. But Brianna turned and flung herself - baby and all - at Jamie, who pressed her so tight against his heart, I thought one of them must break.

Then she was flying at me, a cloud of cloak and loosened hair, and her face was cold against mine, her tears and mine mingling on my skin.

“I love you, Mama! I love you!”



Waaahhhhh. Claire and Brianna separated again. I was one who could not understand Claire leaving her when she was 20.

[> I'm with you, Kathy in PA. This parting, while heart rending, I could understand - Mandy's life was at stake and could only be cured in the future. But Claire's earlier leaving had me in tears. I just could NOT imagine CHOOSING to leave my daughter. -- DianaH, Thu, July 21 2022, 10:22:49
