893 Words4 Pages

This only happened last year. I felt like the painting by Frida Kahlo the wounded deer … and I was the deer...

My mom and my brother were always happy and high spirited and always knew everything was always going to be ok, so it surprised me when I got home from school and saw them crying. My mom stared at me as when I came in, as if I had done something terrible.
“What’s wrong?” I asked curiously
