“...as they faced this cold, hard, reality”“Listen, I have to be honest, we are all perplexed,” the detective said while she removed her cap and began to wipe her head with a handkerchief. “It appears the dogs, uh from our K-9 unit, are certainly picking up her scent. But in all the places where she would have played previously. So that’s not proving too helpful,” she explained with a pause to catch her breath.

“What good am I to him behind bars?”
|
“I don’t know what to tell you, but you can’t keep trying to take the easy way out. He’ll grow up angry and hate you if you keep ignoring him. You have to be a mother to him from inside here because you may never come back out. I am telling you this so your son can know who his mother really is. He’ll find newspaper articles when he gets older, and, as you heard him say, people will tell him what happened. Is that what you want him to know about you?”
Read “Mother's Day” by Robert G. Retana. |
