After Her Wild Dawn
I remembered when our parents passed away, Silvia was a mess of tears, asking me with her little kid voice, "Joanna, does this mean we don't have a mom and dad anymore?"
Back then, I was already numb, juggling the mourners and worrying about our future. However, Silvia's question hit me like a tidal wave.
I hugged her tight, sobbing uncontrollably, all the while trying to reassure her.
"It's okay, you've still got me."
I nearly forgot that I was just a kid, too.
"Silvia, I'm only three years older than you."
Just three years, but it felt like a lifetime of weight on my shoulders.
