How They Had Us

Mother

After we moved back to Safford, Arizona, I went to a doctor, and he said I was expecting a baby in April. And then he and I had a baby. We named her Holly Kay Bright. Then three years and six months later, we had another baby girl; we named her Jennifer Rebecca Bright.

Now our little family was complete. They were so happy when they had us, and Dad always left early in the morning before we woke up. And my mom stayed home; she had to watch us plus clean the house. One day, my mother stuck two pillows in my arms—one on the right and one on the left—because I couldn’t sit up. The next time that I was on the floor crying, my mom asked, “What happened, Holly?” She picked me up, and I sat with a handprint on my face Holly gave me. Then he had tricycle a work in yard a left accident behind dad truck and run over it. One day a feel in dirt and had thrones in it fall in and could get out and had no shoe on Holly didn’t wanted help. My mom was cooking, and she heard me crying. She told Holly to help her sister out. Then I got even with Holly for not helping me out. I said something that made her so mad she didn’t notice I put a thumbtack on the steps. She stopped crying and ran after me. She was so mad and ran into the bathroom where my mother was. Then my dad and mom later got divorced in 1978.
