It’s all fine and good, she just didn’t have much room in her new life forfor the ride, and we ended up here in this ht at home
Truth is, I was sort of relieved when it finally all blew up My parents had been so unhappy for so long My dad worked; my mom spent My dad wanted a family, my mom wanted a party
