Against the natural order of things: for mothers who’ve lost their children too soon

0

I think of my late mother more frequently as Mother’s Day draws near. She held me as I took my first breath, and I held her hand when she took her last.

It might be better suited for the Kroot Corporation’s scrap yard. But ironing and I have some history, and I’m having a hard time letting it go.
