Description

A broken e

A broken heart

A broken home

Brayden and I have everything going against us

There was a time ere madly in love

Our laughter still echoes in my ears

They say e is built on trust

They said love is the foundation

I wonder if we have either of those now

And what’s worse?

I’ve been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness

Divorce or death

I have no clue what comes first

But they both feel the same

Brayden still has my heart

And I have a feeling that he wants to keep it

Will he fight for us and give our love a second chance?

Or is this the end of an era for our family?

Prologue

Terra

I wondered when e of my bed, I experienced a rare moment of quiet and solitude in my home I searched my brain for the moment the fairy tale ended I couldn’t pinpoint an exact time The busyness of life must have simply worn away at us until all that was left was resentment

I should have known it wouldn’t last I learned at eleven years old that life is a bitch and then you die This lesson really sank in after I watched my mother battle cancer, only to lose in the end She’d endured painful and debilitating treatment to save herself She’d sacrificed any quality of life in the hopes that she’d live, but her fight was all for naught She died anyway

I wondered, if she would haveto die, no matter what, would she have sacrificed some time to be able to enjoy life more fully until the cancer took her? Would she have taken hter tea like we did once a month before she was too sick to walk? Would she have piled all the pillows on her bed and turned out all the lights to watch ht left her?
