Читать книгу ShoeShine Kids - Mary Cullen - Страница 10

Margie had a complicated personality. I believe she was deeply affected by our childhood circumstances. Being the last in the orphanage really bothered her. Betty had been in the same orphanage as Margie, but ran away when she was almost sixteen, leaving Margie there, alone. A few days before Betty passed away, she asked Margie if she forgave her for leaving her. Of course Margie said yes, she adored Betty. Every single time I needed Margie, she was there for me. She was there for each and every one of the ShoeShine Kids. Always. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. She loved her husband and their three children dearly. They were her life. I loved Margie with all of my heart. When the ShoeShine kids were getting sick, one after the other, we helped each other through everything. I am lost without Margie.
