MY SISTER
DH
MY PROTECTOR - UNTIL SHE ESCAPED
She was a remarkable person. She was incredible. She was the mother when
mom could not be. She was the nurse for mom when she was hurt. My sister
shielded me from our father. She did whatever it took to hide me and protect
me; then, one day she escaped the horror. I was abandoned and scared.
My sister might be one of the smartest people I ever knew as a little boy.
Why? She saw an opportunity and skipped town. She acted and got the heck
out of “small-town America”.
